Manitoba- Carruthers third Reid Carruthers delivers a rock while playing Team Canada during a match at the Brier, in Regina, on March 8.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.

Einarson’s second Shannon Birchard is out of the lineup with a knee injury and will be replaced by Laura Walker in Calgary.
