Playoffs
As a reminder, here is the schedule as it stood from the beginning.

Every team has played every team, and now it's time for the "last chance playoffs" to give your team a chance to change their rankings before the finals. You can view your records and schedule in the member portal. But here's what we're all facing for the next couple weeks. The website doesn't rank by "ends won", which is our first tiebreaker, so I had to write that in manually. If you check your schedule on the website your team, instead of my team, will be highlighted. As a reminder, I left the tiebreaker fine print at the bottom of this email.


Good luck to everyone, see you out on the ice!

Good Curling,

Fine (but not that fine) Print - 

Tie Breaks - Ranking will be first by record, then by ends won, then by points scored, then by heads up record. If all those tie breaks fail going into week 5, the super-tie will be broken by a draw to the button contest between the skips of the tied teams. If the super tie needs breaking going into week 8 the tiebreaker will be your rank after 5 weeks. I doubt super-ties will happen, but they could.
Forfeits - If any week requires a forfeit due to attendance, the forfeiting team will be given a loss and no ends or points, the winner of the forfeited game will be given a win and the average ends scored and points scored by the rest of the teams that night. If it's a mutual forfeit (it's happened before), both teams will be credited a tie but no ends won and no points scored.
Subs - If a team has less than 3 players present in a week they will have the first priority for sub assignments. Next priority will be if your team specifically recruited a sub. After that, subs will be randomly assigned. If there are not enough subs present to make all scheduled games happen, teams of 4 may be asked to donate a player to teams that are short. However, if teams that are short are willing to play doubles, those games may proceed as a doubles game rather than shuffling players. But we will not force anyone to play doubles who isn't comfortable. If there are enough open spots that a forfeit can be declared due to attendance but everyone who showed up can still play, that may also happen. We will do our best to avoid declaring forfeits, so if there is a way to avoid a forfeit by swapping weeks we will do that, as long as it won't cause an attendance problem down the line.
