On November 18th – 20th, 12 teams competed in PNWCA’s 3rd annual 5-and-Under Championship and Granite Curling Club of Seattle. This year, an event-record 10 teams from PNWCA member-clubs participated in the event, and teams from the region won both the A and B sides.
In contrast to most 5-and Under Nationals qualifying events, PNWCA’s 5-and-Under Championship is run as a playdown, featuring pre-event and pregame practices, DSCs to decide hammer, and pool play. This gives teams competing in the event a chance to experience the type of environment they’ll see at the national event and in the future at any other regional playdowns.
The A event featured an all GCC final, with team McLaughlin defeating team Kopka 7-5 in 8 ends. Congratulations to Matt McLaughlin, Suz McLaughlin, Sonja Wesche, and Thorsten Frank who will all be making their first appearance at the National event.
The B event featured an all Evergreen final, with team Rockett defeating team Bada Bing Bada Broom 9-1 in 6 ends. This is Matt Rockett’s second straight B event win, congratulations to him and Blake Bartusiak, Mat Iberg and Jennifer Hill.
