Yes everybody, since we are now into February, the count-down really starts for the Winnipeg hosting of the Friars’ Briar (starting February 25th). This is your update coming from the Winnipeg Planning Committee…..
As an update, we are one full team short of the desired 24 teams! In case you have a team ‘tucked away’ somewhere, or are a lonely individual, we are trying to put together enough players to help the Drawmaster from committing ‘you know what’! Irons are in the fire, but if you have a team, or some individual out there, still hankering to meet the brethren, let the Registrar know asap (use the Contact Us tab) and we will surely try to fit you in. (This last team will qualify for the President’s dictum offering ‘half price’ to the last two teams registering this year). We feel there are people out there who were waiting for this panic sale!!
Gold Medal -Team Sprong
Silver Medal – Team Hesje
Bronze Medal – Team Victoria
Don Amos Trophy – Team Wall
Hugh Christmas Trophy – Team Foliot
The Drawmaster (and his little elves) has drawn up the Groups for the Seeding Round Robin event. The schedule will be posted shortly, but it is evident that ALL the Manitoba teams (save for the Epp and Mystery Rocks teams) will be the only teams playing the Monday afternoon draw (3:00 pm)
| GROUP A McMillan Johnson Friesen Hesje D. Martin Mystery Rocks |
GROUP B Lurvey Ewert Baska M.Martin Epp Team Victoria |
| GROUP C Burton Wall Knull Foliot Hunter Gracelads |
GROUP D Sprong Finley Paetsch Seasoned Rockers Budd Bartel |
Now that one knows who the ‘competition’ is in your Group, the Drawmaster has completed the Schedule for the Seeding Round Robin event for Monday through Wednesday. Be prepared for some back-to-back games as a result of 24 teams playing on 8 sheets of ice.
Known by most of the team members coming to Winnipeg, the top 2 teams in each group of the Round Robin go on to form the Medal Round playoffs, the next 2 teams in each group form the Don Amos playoffs, and the last 2 teams in each group form the Hugh Christmas playoffs.
Thanks to those who have registered for tickets to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights tour. We have committed to 48 tour participants and still have spots to fill. If you want to go to this unique ‘special event’ here in Winnipeg, (Wednesday night) please indicate such to the Registrar (you can pay for same at the Registration Desk upon arrival – just $15 per person).
