Closing Banquet & Final Games This Sunday
We’re heading into the final draw of the season. There’s real movement on the line in divisions A, B, C, and the league championship. If you’re coming to the sold out banquet, get ready for a packed house, big prizes, and a great wrap to the season.
Event & Banquet Details
- Every attending member receives a ballot for the Draw to the Button for $10,000.
- Bring your curling gear. If your name is pulled, you’ll need it.
- These same ballots will also be used for additional draw prizes (gift cards).
- 50/50 is cumulative, so the pot will be bigger than usual.
- Please take a moment to complete the End‑of‑Year Survey and help us improve the league: https://forms.gle/s7q1nUpQmV4VQWHW8
Sunday Game Highlights
The final games will shape several division titles and the overall league championship. Here’s what’s on the line:
Division E
A win or tie secures the division for Pageau. A loss creates a tie with Paquet, but Pageau holds the head‑to‑head advantage.
Division D & F
Champions are essentially decided, and Sunday’s games won’t change the top spot but teams will still be closing out their seasons strong.
Division C
Sauve, Morrison, and Chow all remain in contention, each facing different opponents. All three games matter, and the division title will be decided by how these results line up. This is the most wide‑open 👀 division heading into Sunday.
Division B
Laframboise vs Dunville will decide the division. A Laframboise win seals the title. A Dunville win creates a tie in points and wins, sending it to head‑to‑head.
Division A
Two matchups will determine the final order at the top: Taylor vs Coffey and Mantha vs McAlear. Taylor is positioned to take the division regardless of Sunday’s results, but Coffey, Mantha, and Laforge are still battling for 2nd-4th.
The league championship also runs through A:
- If Coffey wins, they take the league title outright.
- If Taylor wins, the two teams tie on points, wins, and head‑to‑head and it comes down to +/‑.
This is the tightest 👀 race of the season and worth watching.
