With the new 16-team, two-pool competition format being introduced, the Saskatchewan champions’ round-robin schedule is now set for the first few days of the 2018 Tim Hortons Brier.
Once the preliminary round is complete and the top four teams from each pool move into the Championship Pool, the remainder of the schedule will be set.
Saskatchewan will play in the opening draw on Saturday, March 3, and also will be featured in draws three and five (both on Sunday), seven (on Monday), nine and 11 (both on Tuesday) and 13 (on Wednesday).
In addition to being a part of the world’s most famous curling competition inside the Brandt Centre, fans will also be a part of the world’s most famous curling party, the Patch — just a short covered walk away from the arena at the adjacent International Trade Centre at Evraz Place, where they can check out live music, have a meal and mingle with players and fellow fans from all over Canada. For the first time, the Patch will be cashless; tokens won’t be used or accepted.
