Manitoba can point to the amazing record of Jennifer Jones last 20 years but sadly the 12 team format hasn't produced much in the way of excellence .

I agree. Tour curlers need to meet non tour curlers to prove their melt. There is supposed to be a hierarchy in sport. But obviously tradition is not a valid argument. I think a larger pool of teams is good, though my opinion is just one. I would like to see some stats - count of curlers, count of clubs, count of entries in provinials, by province. Sure there has been decline, and growth. Sigh.

You didn't answer the question. You said the change from 12 to 10 was good because the 12 team format hadn't produced much.
Please explain how 10 is going to produce more success.
