Junior curlers will get the chance to play like the country’s top curlers if they take part in a junior cashspiel in Vernon in November.

The event, which is being organized by Brier regular Jim Cotter, will take place at the Vernon Curling Club from November 14-16.

A cash purse of $10,000 will be available to the players.

The event will be run like a provincial/national event with a draw to button to help determine tie-breakers. World Curling Tour Slam Event rules for tie breakers will be used, which means no team will be eliminated on tie-breakers unless we get into a 1-3 type scenario then teams can be eliminated with a sub-500 records. Teams with 500 or better record will either go directly into playoffs with the top draw to the button or a tie breaker game will be required.

Organizer Jim Cotter said the event will ideally have 12 girls and 12 boys teams, with a maximum of 24 entries. Eight teams have already signed up.

Games will be played over eight ends and there will be team goodie bags.

Purse

$10,000 ($5,000 for boys, $5,000 for girls)

Payouts:

1st: $2,000
2nd: $1,600
3rd: $800
4th: $600
Cost

$300 per team

The cost includes a team dinner with Key Note Speaker that will take place on Saturday night.

Format

The format will depend on entries but organizers are looking to create two pools. Four games will be guaranteed.
