CALGARY — Reid Carruthers seeks a three-peat in curling's quirky PointsBet Invitational that's become an unofficial season kickoff because of money, field and visibility.
What makes Curling Canada's cashspiel quirky is the single-elimination format, the tiebreaking draw to the button instead of an extra end, and junior, university, college and club teams mixing with curling's elite. "Playoffs right away is just a different way of thinking about it," Homan said."You start with playoffs and you don't get any practice games.
"Figuring out how to get the most out of each other is something that we're working on and it will take a little bit of time and conversation about what we need to do to be consistently one of the best teams in Canada." The recently crowned men's and women's national under-25 champions, as well as the 2024 under-21, university and college champions get a taste of curling's big leagues in Calgary.
Einarson's second Shannon Birchard is out of the lineup with a knee injury and will be replaced by Laura Walker in Calgary.
