It's been an interesting couple of days.
-what the above doesn't say unless you dive into the link is that CurlOn took away a qualifying spot from an event that had already closed registration that is occurring next weekend
-CurlOn made this announcement against their own "final report" on the Tankard structure. The report clearly states 2 CTRS teams and 2 teams each from 4 other events.
-the announcement was made after competition entry closed and ranking ballots were sent out
-after many emails/social media posts expressing surprise/dismay, and offering alternative solutions (add an 11th team to the tankard, take the spot from an event that hasn't closed registration yet allowing teams to make an educated choice), CurlOn doubled down on breaking their own rules.
There are many more nuances, but they are for another post.
It is worth noting that almost universally, nobody has an issue with Team McDonald going to the Tankard. They have played a ton this year and achieved much success. The dismay is centered around last minute rule changes and the feeling that player's voices are not being heard.
