TORONTO — Team Brad Gushue improved to a 2-1 record in the Princess Auto Players’ Championship, and the St. John’s, N.L., crew are now one victory away from qualifying for the playoffs.
It was a rematch from the world men’s curling championship where Gushue, representing Canada, thumped Retornaz 10-4 during round-robin play just last week in Las Vegas. Gushue captured the silver medal while Retornaz earned bronze. The triple knockout preliminary round consists of three brackets: A, B and C. Teams must win three games in order to qualify for the playoffs. Each loss drops a team to a lower bracket until they lose three games and are out of the tournament. Two A teams , three B teams and three C teams advance to the quarterfinals.
