OTAY, back to curling
"Otay", as our fave 'Our Gang' member, Buckwheat, was wont to exclaim, back to real curling.
Our gals play in the Southern Ontario Western Regional playdowns this weekend, Jan. 6/8 on one of their favourite ice surfaces in St. Thomas Ontario (200 Kliks). Follow the link to download the PDF file of the draw. Yes, I know having the draw up in PDF is bush league but you get what you pay for these days, er! No as a matter of fact you don't but I guess that is another story. In any case see the draw, be the draw, discuss.
For those of you who happen to live in a part of Canada far from THE CENTRE OF ALL THINGS, I offer the following: NOTE: People of Ontario, do not read this is for THE OTHERS.
In Ontario, at least the Southern version and for the distaff side, it goes like this.
# The thirty-two (32) winners of the sixteen (16) zone playdowns, which shall be double knockout, shall meet in two (2) regional playdowns, which shall be double knockout. Each regional playdown shall declare two (2) winners.
# The four (4) winners of the regional playdowns and the two (2) winners of the Challenge Round shall advance to the Ontario Scott Tournament of Hearts.
So, there is an East and a West Regional Playdown which collectively send 4 teams and then a Challenge Round, or Last Chance for the Zone and Regional non winners (see, I can do NewSpeak!) which sends two more to the Provincial (combined North/South) Scott where the 6 teams representing the south playoff against 4 teams from the north for the right to represent Ontario (North/South) at the STOH.
People of Ontario, jump back in here, the headache part is over.
In any event, our gals play Friday night at 6:00 PM to start things off and we hope to be there to cheer. The folks at St. Thomas are terrific and always good hosts so everyone looks forward to going there. If any of you have ever met Jim Waite whose home club this is, they are all like him. Nice.
The Provincial Final will be in Fort Frances, which is a little bit of a longer drive, 1,702 Kliks to be exact, Jan. 30 to Feb. 4. Might have to get a room for that trip.
We will observe and report back.
