Saturday 7:15AM -Got in late evening last night and spent the time working through the final Round Robin standings. Kept flipping back and forth between Mike Doskas' Official website postings, the BCB Conditions of Play and my interpretations of the tie breaking procedures. With the help of some dramatic final round action and a close study of Appendix B, I believe the final positions are accurate. In any case I do match the podium seekers with the Championship slate.
Five of the 6 Men's teams and the Helen Wright rink are playing for medals. Half play for Gold with one guaranteed but just two possible. The exact scenario holds true in the Bronze morning games. It's your morning riddle with coffee.
Medal Bound
Fours - What a steady and consistent team is the Steve McKerihen group. Year after year they come, they compete, they conquer ( a lot ). Nary missed a beat this year when son Adam stepped into the Second spot to replace travelling man John Devonshire and is a contributing member to the team.
Ironically Steve and David Anderson faced Chris Stadnyk along with Jeff Harding in the 2011 Pairs Gold game and the latter came out on top.An omen or a motivation! Whatever, it will be a skilled match.
Great comeback from a Day 1 start for the Stadnyk foursome. From 0-2 , 6 wins and a tie later, the stage is set for another elite roll up. Can they repeat choking up the only loss on the ON'A' Round Robin record?
ON'A' Helen Wright, Jackie Hogan, Hazel Joffe, Joyce Kruss were kruising after 6 rounds sitting in first position. But 3 straight losses lowered the podium position but their early play and staying relatively close in the final 3 RR games was just sufficient to grasp the final Bronze game spot.
Pairs - I know Kevin Jones and James Covell were itching to have another go at the Odgen/Bezanson duo ( 16-15 NS in the first game on the first day ) but the veterans Nelson and Dobson and the spoilers Singleton and Lidstone reordered the table sitting. They will be huffing and puffing at the Steffen house in the Bronze.
Speaking of the boys from Oshawa, it is a role reversal. Due to an injury suffered in the NS game, Alan and Robert have turned upside down. Robert took over as Skip against NB and AB. In the words of Alan, " Robert ... made a lot of great shots which contributed to our victories over NB and again today in our must win over AB. ...Now onto the Bronze medal game! It should be a good one. " That 20-13 win over gold medal game bound AB was a testament of their longstanding ability.
Singles - Jeff Harding is grooving. Deliberate, measured, consistent is delivering results. As mentioned above, won Gold last year - leading in Pairs. His only blip in the RR was a loss to MB John Bjornson, relatively unknown but skilled. Singles is a game you really play alone. Not even the other person on the mat is your opponent. You are your opponent. The next shot better, closer, positioned, with purpose. This native New Zealander will be ready in the quiet of the match.
I will come back later to comment on the Championships in general.
Friday Noon NEWS FLASH - From on the scene reporter Rosemary Stadnyk which makes it accurate but unofficial. ON'B' Chris Stadnyk, Mark Sandford, Gary Pickering, Ryan Stadnyk beat Alberta .The Lyall Adams skipped team were tied with ON'B' going into this match. The winner to the All Ontario Gold Game against ON'A' Steve McKerihen, David Anderson, Adam McKerihen, Fred Wallbank .
Alan Steffen and Rob Steffen big win over tied for first Alberta. Play for Bronze.
Jeff Harding and ON'B' Carolyn Cook, Ellen Edwards winners Round 9.
Thursday 9:30 PM Just in the house from a day at Grand Bend beach with a gaggle of grandkids. Looking at the Hump action.Updating and publishing as I work through each division.
ON'A' Steve McKerihen, David Anderson, Adam McKerihen, Fred Wallbank will play for Gold.
ON'B' Chris Stadnyk, Mark Sandford, Gary Pickering, Ryan Stadnyk 11 SD+50 will play for Gold if they beat Alberta. They defeated SK so even if the green men beat NS, the first tiebreaker prevails. Of course if ON'B' and AB tie and SK and NS tie along with a win by BC, that would create a 4 way tie in second place. Thus the need to start to look at the shot differential from all the round robin games. Advantage ON'B' after 8 rounds.
ON'A' Helen Wright, Jackie Hogan, Hazel Joffe, Joyce Kruss could get to the Gold medal game if they beat BC, who are tied for first, and SK loses to 9th place NS. If not successful in that pursuit they still aren't a lock for a medal game since the Round 8 loss to QC'B' not only jeopardized the golden road but could prove to be the team that replaces them for the Bronze game. It appears that despite the 2 win day for ON'B' Jo Anne Bugler, Kay Johns, Trudy Hill, Marilyn Lancaster, and even though they could achieve 10 match points, the loss to their Ontario cohorts could be the nay decider.
ON'B' Jeff Harding will play for Gold. In fact AB Dave Cox and Harding will have a trial match before the real medal game on Saturday. MB John Bjornson can tie Cox in match points but Cox was the victor in the first game of the RR which is the tiebreaker in this case.ON'A' Mike Bester is clinging to the medal ladder but the climb to the Bronze podium is still possible with a victory over Steve Santana of BC Friday morning.
By golly Glenn Singleton of PEI can still jump up and bite you when least expected. He doesn't come to the Nationals every year although he certainly could qualify but when not too far away he comes and he competes. Did it to Kevin Jones and James Covell and knocked them out of the Gold hunt. They can play for Bronze but need to beat BC to fend off the chasers - including Alan and Rob Steffen.
Thursday.It's Hump Day at the Canadians. Will it be over the Hump and a scramble for the
medals or will it be checking the hotel dresser drawer to pack your homeward bag.
Yesterday was 'Sibling Day'. You live in the same house but you still have to prove your superiority. Ontario 'A' came out on top 4-2. Big wins for the Chris Stadnyk rink and Jeff Harding in Singles. The former to continue to overcome the 0-2 Day 1 start and Jeff to keep the chasers off his heels, including Mike Bester who would have been tied for the top with a victory.
Kevin Jones leap-frogged the Steffen pair and kept alive the chance to play NS for gold.
Both the McKerihen and Wright rinks are front runners but have some heavy sledding to do starting with this morning's games against Sask..
There is gold in them there hills.......
