Well two of the five teams I targetted at the start of the event are playing in the A-Qualifiers today at 5:30pm - that being Team Bernard and Team Holland. Team Holland has built their unbeaten streak to eight games (according to the WCT site)......and counting! Good luck to them as they play Quebec based Team Belisle. Bernard is squaring off against the Bobbi Sauder rink from Edmonton. Ranking wise you would have to pick Bernard and Holland, however both Sauder and Belisle have played extremely well so far and have knocked off some big names.
The good news for curling fans, because of all the upsets so far, is that there are some very big names playing all day on Sunday!! Plus the biggest prize of the day on Sunday is the Calgary Curling Club's $13.00 Thanksgiving turkey dinner...with all the fixings. Trust me.....it is well worth it - I may just have one for lunch and dinner!!
There will be some unhappy people after the 5:30 draw as the first teams will be eliminated from the tournament. Along with the two A-side qualifying games are the six first round C-side games. There are some big names playing in those games - and trust me - there have been event winners from the C-side!! It's a long road, but if you get on a run you get to continue to play versus having a day off the ice......pay attention to these teams!
Hope to see everyone out at the club today and tomorrow!
