It's this time of year, again - the Tim Hortons Brier! This year, the Brier is being held at the Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

There are 17 draws and then 7 playoff games.


All games are automatic, sequential, escalating, chained, and sunny. The maps will be posted in the 2nd post. The tournament will be a Round Robin Format for the first phase followed by a 4 team Page Playoff for the second phase. In the first phase each team will play every other team once over the period of 17 draws (4 games per draw, but only 2 for draw 6). After the round robin phase, the top 4 teams will advance to the second phase, the page playoff.


Signups:

From each team, I will need the following: four players and one of the 12 teams listed in below. That's it. Your spot will not be reserved until you have four players. Feel free to post your individual interest, and if I get four of you, I'll put you in a team together. Gather your team and post your official signup in this format:

Team: ex. Ontario
Team members:

Show up to your game within 48 hours of receiving the PM or you will be replaced

If you have somebody drop out then PM me with their replacement. If you do not have a replacement I will take a player from the reserves.

Freemiums are welcome as there will only be 1 game at a time.

Updated and full. You are in as Prince Edward Island, rebekah.

We need 3 reserves and then we can commence.

I meant to sign up for this, but forgot to come back and check when I got busy. Dang it!!

Have a good tournament.

Draw 1 is underway and we have an interesting lineup!

The PRESS:
Interview of the Skip of Team Manitoba, Crarg.

"We are honored to be returning this year as defending champions, but while winning was difficult enough it will be even more difficult defending it. We are not the dark horse team this year and everyone will be looking to take us down

The field looks as strong as ever and as always to come out on top will be a magnificent achievement. The team to fear this year is Team Ontario... they are a great team and will be hard to beat.

To mount a challenge and win this, its always great to start strong and lay down a marker to the rest of the field. We have no real strategy except to take each match as it comes.

We have a new member this year in Hiloopy and we are still getting to know his style but early results look promising and he will be a great addition to the team and make us even stronger."

And there's the scoop from Team Manitoba for Draw 1.

Team Saskatchewan's skip uckucki (now leading in the standings) had this to say, early this morning,

I feel good about the team, all Brier veterans. We did quite good in the first game. It does feel like it came little too easy. The opponents let us grab NY bonus in the second end and hold it without breaking it once. They never put a real effort into breaking it and even though they stacked they didn't utilize the stacks to their full potential.

We'll see for the rest of the week. There are several crack teams in the roster, so we are guaranteed good fights. The team we fear most is without doubt Northern Ontario, not so much for their strategy as for their use of poisoned darts.

Our strategy is quite simple: win as many games as possible.

And that's the Scoop.

Manitoba has taken an early lead. Additionally, Newfoundland an Labrador looks to be struggling.
