Finals for Wednesday Women Curling

Hello everyone - was great to see everyone last night at the AGM and for the Semis.  I have posted the online schedule for the finals.  Finals will be Wednesday April 15th at 8 pm. Spectators welcome and prizes will be handed out after the games.

Flight 1 - Holladay vs Lokuge ( Sheet C)
Flight 2 - McDermott vs Chung ( Sheet D)
Flight 3 - Matheson vs Ono ( Sheet E)
Flight 4 - Armstrong vs Simmons (Sheet F)

Again, as a reminder, if you are needing a spare for the finals, you must get someone from one of the eliminated teams in our section ( not the spare list).  Our guiding principles go into it in more detail but here is the relevant paragraph.  Any questions please reach out to me in advance of the game to validate your spare. 

Spares Playoffs – Semi-Finals and Finals

In the interest of maintaining fair play and to ensure substitute players are of comparable skill to the missing player the following guidelines should be followed in finding a spare.

1. Spares must be a member of the Women’s Evening Section.

2. Spares must be from the missing player’s flight or lower

3. Spares must play at the missing player’s position or lower. For example, if your regular lead is missing, the assigned spare must play lead. If your skip is missing, the spare can be substituted into the missing skip’s position or any lower position.

4. Any spare coming from the same flight must not play in any lower position than they play in regular season. For example, a vice from flight 2 sparing for another team in flight 2 may play as a vice or skip.

5. Any spare coming from a lower flight may play in any position up to two positions lower than they usually play for their own team.

Should you be in a position of needing a spare for the semi-final or final and want to ensure your spare fits the criteria contact the Draw Chair. Should you be unable to locate a spare that fits the criteria, contact the Draw Chair to get approval for another spare that may or may not fit the criteria. If you choose to play with a spare that does not meet the above rules and or does not meet the executive’s approval then your team will default the game. The other alternative is to play the game with 3 players.
