Yukon Men’s Curling Championship
A two-stage event will be staged to identify the two representative teams for the Yukon in the Yukon/NWT men’s championships when five or more teams have entered. Stage one consists of an open format event for all eligible competitors. The first event will declare four representatives for the second stage.
Any community YCA deems appropriate to hold such a competition can host the first event.
The declared four teams will then compete in a double round robin event. The seeding of the teams will compliment that of the Yukon/NWT Championships. The two representative teams for the Yukon/NWT championships will be declared from the four competing teams.
The Whitehorse Curling Club would be asked to host the second stage event.
If four or fewer teams enter the championship, only one stage will be required to be played to determine the two representative teams for the Yukon/NWT championships. One of the two predetermined event dates and host clubs will be used for the championship. The location of the one stage event will be determined based on proximity of the location of residence of the majority of participants entered.
In the event that four or less teams enter into the Yukon Men’s Curling Championship, all teams will be required to pay an equivalent entry fee had the two stage event occurred.
