The Best teams play four times a year in the Slams and here's a news flash....no crowds...no TV Viewership....people who don't curl make up the TV Audience and they tune in to watch their province.
We don't need to go back to corn brooms and smokes ...we just need a draw with 14 teams.

thats not going to happen. reid and the team will regroup. they lost early and went on a tear in manitoba, wouldnt be surprised if they did something similar here.
im not saying they will win it all but they could go on a winning streak.

and in any case we shouldnt be hoping that manitoba finishes last and gets relegated just so a point can be proven

Your right ....they will rally....I hope they don't
if it takes a Manitoba Sask or Ontario to have a bad week to make the point ....so be it.
What is the issue with a 14 team Brier that includes every Province and Team Canada??????????
Maybe the Toronto Maple Leafs should play the Oilers with the loser being relegated to the AHL next year!!!!

Nova Scotia has won more Briers than PEI, New Brunswick, NWT, Newfoundland and Quebec, yet PEI, New Brunswick, NWT, Newfoundland and Quebec are all curling in the Brier this week despite wining far fewer Briers than Nova Scotia.



And the Toronto Maple Leafs have won more Stanley Cups that the Pittsburgh Penguins, L.A. Kings and Edmonton Oilers combined, but they won't be in the playoffs.

Sunday morning must come too early for the TSN broadcast crew: looks like they are down to just one sheet: N.Ont (Jacobs) vs Alberta (Koe) at 8:30 MT. Amazing that after just one day of doubles, that already feels like a huge disappointment!

CurlingGeek will share ON (Kean) vs. QC (Menard):

CCA should pay attention to the crowds. WTC events are empty. Brier is packed.

There is a reason for that.

IF the CCA wants to use the Canada Cup to decide the World Championship Rep I dont think anyone (Curlers / Provinces / CCA) would have a problem with that. It would give them time to prepare, schedule time from work etc etc.

But by changing the format of the Brier / Scotties they are playing with fire.

This point has been brought up in another thread-I forget by whom...

Team Canada was originally created because nobody, including friends and family could identify three women's team even with a program-that was the ONLY (I repeat...ONLY) reason team Canada was created.

Thanks to the explosion of curling coverage, not only on TSN but more importantly on Sportsnet, I don't believe that women's curling has that problem anymore.

But look at the attendance numbers on the pro tour-they're going to have their championship in Toronto-but not at the ACC or even the Ricoh Coliseum. They're having it at the old Maple Leaf Gardens-but on the third floor.

As for relegation, I've said it before-try selling advance Scotties ticket packages in Vancouver next year...or (God forbid) try selling packages for the Ottawa Brier in Winnipeg, should things not turn around.

The pro tour was established for one reason-to give elite curlers a place to play their trade and make some money-like the PGA in golf...only not enough money to quit their day jobs.

The Brier was established so that ALL Canadian curlers could enter the provincial championships for a chance to compete for the national title-like the U.S. or British Open.
There are ways to accommodate all the provinces and territories (including Nunavut with its THREE (3) curling clubs in an area of TWO MILLION (2,093,190) km. Without the prize of curling for the Brier, why would anybody bother entering provincial playdows (and paying their entry fee)...be honest.

You can have:
1. Two pools or
3. Five sheets of ice and
3. Four draws a day

...and if you're worried about one rink playing 3 games a day, believe it or not it happens.

The Americans had both their men's and women's nationals last week in the same arena in Kalamazoo (5 sheets, 4 draws).

That way fans from BC won't book a week off work and fly to the Scotties only to see their team waiting to get on the plane to fly home (if they bother getting tickets at all). And what if Manitoba and/or Alberta finishes at the bottom at the Brier?

If curling is so weak that, after all these years the defending champs can't walk down the street without being noticed then curling has already failed.

By the way, there's an "exception" rule in the relegation format-if a province/territory is hosting the following year's Brier/Scotties they can't be relegated, thereby making a "special" situation in which a team could finish 5-7 and have to enter a massive playoff for their survival...and, in the spirit of Canadian fairness, we'll also have to arrange to hold the Brier/Scotties in NWT/Yukon/Nunavut at least once every ten years, right?

I wouldn't be so sure-check the reaction south of the border following the women's championship.

I hope this is the last we see of Koe, really like him, but can't take all the input from the others, c'mon now every shot.

By the way Jacobs is not much better.

I saw one instance last night where Koe looked like he had enough, well say something.

Reid Carruthers has played two teams that are predicted to finish above him. ITS TWO GAMES!!! It is why they play a round robin. If they lose to PEI, NB and the Territories then MB should be sent to relegation next year.

Koe looks like a first time curler out there. Is it too late to change my predictions?

it doesnt really matter even if they do finish last the cca doesnt give a damn about the curlers or tradition. this change is here to stay. they would look rather foolish if they implemented changes and then the following year undid them

I suspect Reid is destined to finish 6-5 or 5-6.

To reach 6-5 he'll have to go 6-3 in his final 9 games.



no, he doesnt but he can always turn it around. and who knows. 6-5 might get you something here

Someone on here posted before saying we have always had relegation for eons. It was just all of the Territories playing off for 1 spot. Was that fair? Not really.

Now it has converted to 4 of the bottom provinces and territories (or region of Northern Ontario) playing for that last spot. Is that fair? Not completely.

Is it fair when some of our best teams compete for 1 spot out of the same province? No, not fair either.

But, The Brier has never been about fairness!

Inequalities have been around in The Brier for a long, long time. A National Championship in its purest form is having the best of the best competing to represent our country on the World stage no matter where they live in Canada. However, The Brier is a showcase of Canadiana that just happens to be our designated National Championship.

Curling Canada appears to be attempting to do a balancing act between the two ideals. It appears they are adapting a middle ground with some of the recent changes and trying to make The Brier a stronger competition while still keeping elements of tradition. But, on the flip side many will argue to go all the way one way or the other - do it right and do it well instead of somewhere in between.

Thoughts?

I like the change and easy to implement!

Make it so that the non-offending team can place their guard back to the original spot and have the option of leaving or removing the opposing teams rock.

maybe people here would rather canada copy the swiss system of doing things. It does seem to be the way most posters here would want.

in the swiss system it works like 2 tiers. The swiss championship on the mens side is composed of 12 teams and the womens is composed of 8 teams. how it works is, the 4 ranked teams at the end of the round robin in the national championsip stay in the A division and qualify for next years national championship automatically.

the bottom 4 womens teams and the remaining 8 mens teams drop down to a b division where they will have to qualify to get to the national championship next year.

now there's also a c division that teams play in and im not sure on number but a group of teams comes through c and earns the right to play in the b division. then, in 3 groups the b division is played out in groups of 6. the top 3 teams from the first 2 divisions and the top 2 teams from the 3rd division advance to the national championship to get your field of 12. i note here that these teams competing in zones are exactly what you'd think. each area of switzerland is divided into 3 zones.

and then even within that the national championship is played out in a 2 part round robin. so after the 2nd stage of round the top 6 teams advance into the championship round and out of that pool you get your national champion.

what i explained there in detal is the mens tournament but its the same thing for the women but with less teams involved.

The one thing that may change all this ...The Title Sponsor.
Tim Hortons is not about elite athletes and success at high levels of sports. They don't own the Montreal Canadians or the Toronto Blue Jays.....they sponsor Tim Bits Hockey and Tim Bits soccer. They encourage little kids to get out there and play,to participate and they do it from Coast to Coast. When they see what exclusion does to a sport they sponsor....things may change ...give it some time.

Bob Weeks has it right and says it better than most

The biggest problem with this change is that it really cuts to the fabric of whats made the Brier successful. It was started by the folks at Macdonald Tobacco as a way to build the nation. Its no secret that the cigarette company spent oodles trying to get every province to send a team. To get Quebec involved, it had to buy all the local curling clubs stones because they were using irons back in those days. It also made sure that the Brier was hosted at least once in every province.




And because of that, this event grew. It rivalled the Grey Cup as the biggest celebration of Canada through sports. In my opinion what made it better than the football finale was that every part of the country was represented and involved, both on and off the course.




That wont happen any more. Someone who has been there is going to be left out and that changes everything.

How are the crowds at the Brier? It looks like there are lots of empty seats. I don't see what is wrong with one team from the North. There are not really enough good players to support three teams and that is shown by Nunavit not sending a team to either of the Hunger Games. They need to come up with something better for next year but doubt it will happen.

As for 'you' watching the Rel round...who cares.

"I don't see what is wrong with one team from the North."

This is the exact attitude that so many here claim to protest against. If there are two strong teams, say, from YT and NT, why shouldn't they both have the right to compete in the Brier? "I don't see what is wrong with one team from the Maritimes."

If you're going to stand against the relegation, at least be intellectually honest and make a consistent argument.

This has been tread to death on this forum and elsewhere.

Nice start for Kean. Terrific young team with tons of potential. It will be a great learning experience for them this week.

Great start for the Soo boys. Love watching these guys play with such intensity.

How will Koe respond to his sluggish start vs. Gushue this afternoon?
