CURLING CANADA • 2021 TIM HORTONS BRIER, PRESENTED BY AGI • MEDIA GUIDE 4 FACT SHEET OFFICIAL NAME: 2021 Tim Hortons Brier, presented by AGI DATE/SITE: March 5-14, 2021 - WinSport Arena at Canada Olympic Park SEATING CAPACITY: 2,500 (not applicable) FORMAT: Eighteen teams (14-member provinces and territories, Team Canada and three Wild Card teams) will compete in two pools of nine. Teams will play eight games in their respective pools. At the conclusion of the eight games, the top four teams in each pool advance to the Championship Pool where each team plays another 4 games; one against each of the top four teams from the other pool for a total of 12 games. Records from the first round are carried over to the Championship Pool. If necessary, tiebreaker games prior to the Championship Pool will be played Friday morning for the final place available in the Championship Pool by teams with a better than .500 record (5-3 or better). Teams tied for fourth place at 4-4 or worse will be determined by head-to-head ranking first, then accumulated last stone draw ranking. Should tiebreakers be needed prior to Friday morning, games will be played on Thursday evening, with the possibility of shorter games being played. Following the Championship Pool games, the team with the best record will advance directly to the final. The second- and third-placed teams will play in the semifinal. Tiebreakers for 3rd place will be played Sunday morning (if necessary). Due to the inclusion of two additional teams, the format could not accommodate the Page playoff this season. On Sunday afternoon the second and third ranked teams will play with the winner advancing to the final on Sunday evening. INTERNET: Draw results and event information can be obtained at: https://www.curling.ca/2021brier/ TELEVISION: TSN, RDS2 (All draws), ESPN3 WINNERS EARN: • Berth into the 2021 Tim Hortons Curling Trials. (Note: If team has already qualified [Epping/Gushue/ Jacobs/Bottcher/Koe] then the berth will be made available at Trial Qualifying Event in early fall; dates, location to be announced; • Represent Canada at 2021 OK Tire & BKT Tires World Men’s Curling Championship, presented by New Holland, from April 2-11. Total purse: $300,000 Championship Pool (4th-8th): $15,000 1st: $100,000 Non-Championship Pool (9th-18th): $2,500 2nd: $60,000 3rd: $40,000 CURLING CANADA • 2021 TIM HORTONS BRIER, PRESENTED BY AGI • MEDIA GUIDE 5 GAME DURATION: Teams must play a minimum of eight ends during a round-robin game before conceding. Where necessary, tiebreakers are a minimum of eight ends played. Playoff games are a minimum of 10 ends. LAST STONE DRAW Last stone advantage will be determined by the Last Stone Draws before each Round Robin, (LSD): and each Championship Pool game. Both teams will name the players delivering the Last Stone Draws before the first team practice. At the conclusion of each team’s pre-game practice, two stones will be delivered to the tee at the home end, by different players – the first stone with a clockwise rotation and the second with a counter-clockwise rotation. There will be announcements to deliver the Last Stone Draw’s (LSD’s). A stone delivered prior to the announcement or NOT delivered within the one minute allotted, will be assigned a distance of 199.60 cm (the stone must reach the near tee-line before the time expires). The first stone will be measured and removed from play before the second stone is announced to be delivered. The distances recorded for each stone will be added together to give the team its LSD total for that game. The team with the lesser LSD total will have the choice of delivering the first or second stone in the first end of that game. If the LSD totals for both teams are the same, the individual LSD stones are compared, and the best non-equal LSD has the choice of delivering first or second stone in the first end. When both teams have the exact same individual LSD stone distances, a coin toss will be used to determine that choice. Stones moved by the delivery team before being measured will be assigned the distance of the next defined circle away from the button. If a member of the non-delivering team or an external force moves a stationary stone or causes it to be moved before the Umpire completes the measurement, the stone is replaced to its original position by the delivering team. Triangulation: any stone covering the tee (or centre pin) will be measured from two separate points 61.00 cm from the tee. These distances will calculate the exact distance from the tee to the centre of the curling stone. At the conclusion of the pool play round robin, two single highest recorded Last Stone Draw distances will be discarded by each team to establish the final accumulated distance. Each player must deliver ONE stone of EACH rotation during the Last Stone Draw process in the pool play round robin. Any player can deliver in the Championship Pool (but not the same player for both stones). GAME TIMING: Thinking time will be used for this event. Each team receives 38 minutes to complete a ten-end game. Extra ends will be four minutes and 30 second (4:30) of thinking time for each team. A team’s clock begins: • Once the opposing team has completed their shot, all rocks have come to rest and moved behind the back line; AND • the opposing team’s sweepers have moved to the side of the sheet; AND • the opposition in charge of the house has relinquished control of the house; AND • the person in charge of the house (the delivering team) has taken control of the house.

  • Manitoba Provincial Mixed History
    Manitoba Provincial Men’s History Year of First Provincial Men’s Championship: 1925 Format: From 1925 to 1958 teams played a straight knockout format. This was played in conjunction with the MCA Bonspiel. In some years as many as 64 teams qualified. Exceptions to this included 1930 to 1932 where the MCA Bonspiel Grand Aggregate Winner was declared Provincial Champion. In 1949 a round robin format was used with 12 teams. In 1959 the current format of a maximum of 32 teams was started, however if a team qualified twice the numbers were reduced accordingly. In 1965, minimum 32 teams became the yearly number to compete. There have been various types of draws used to declare the champions over the years. In 1995, the 8 team qualifier was introduced and in 2003 the Final Four or Page Playoff was introduced.

  • 150 Notable Manitoba Curling Teams
    150 NOTABLE MANITOBA CURLING TEAMS In honour of Manitoba’s 150 th Anniversary, the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame and Museum has undertaken to identify 150 teams which played a significant role in creating (in the early years) and extending (in more recent times) Manitoba’s reputation for competitive excellence in the world of curling. Our list acknowledges teams from all competitive sectors from the high-profile junior and men’s and women’s teams to less well-known teams at the mixed, senior, and masters levels and even outside the association realm in the deaf, police and postal championship realms. All of these successful teams played roles in establishing Manitoba’s well-deserved reputation. We also acknowledge recent successes in the new discipline of Mixed Doubles but this historical perspective is focussed on the traditional four-person game. INVITATION TO THE PUBLIC TO ADD TO THE LIST: A total of 150 teams were identified initially. Subsequently two missed teams have been added so the list now includes 152 teams. There are many other teams across Manitoba’s curling history which also belong on a listing of this nature. Manitoba curling fans are invited to suggest other teams for inclusion. In most cases, the teams are included on this list on the basis of the team’s on-ice success in a single outstanding year OR across a series of years. In the latter case, we have acknowledged that so long as three people remained on a team from a previous recorded success – then it was still the same team.
