What should you be looking for when the grandslamcurl's Meridian Canadian Open takes place in Yorkton? JonathanBrazeau gets you caught up in the latest Eight Ends blog.
The Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling tour resumes this week with the Meridian Canadian Open in Yorkton, Sask.
What’s neat about the 16-team triple knockout is that teams always face another team with an identical record, making every game important. You don’t have a 0-3 team just playing for pride against a 3-0 team that has already qualified. As long as you’re still playing, you’re still in it to win it. Also, no tiebreakers.
Team Hasselborg look to become only the second women’s squad to claim three consecutive GSOC titles. Homan was the first accomplishing the feat in 2015 and again last season completing the trio right here at this event.Brad Jacobs is also looking to make it three GSOC titles in a row over on the men’s side having captured the KIOTI Tractor Tour Challenge and BOOST National too.
There are a few notables who have yet to receive an invite although not all of them need to worry. Jacobs and Hasselborg’s multiple titles mean winners of high-profile tour events will help round out the 12-team men’s and women’s fields in Olds, Alta. Those that haven’t won on tour either are the ones in the danger zone. Brad Gushue has finished runner-up at two GSOC events this season but needs a big win soon in order to get in.
