MCC Winter League Opening and Closing Assignments
Introduction
The Missoula Curling Club is a volunteer run organization. As such, we ask all the teams to participate in helping set up and clean up during the season. Each team is asked to open and close once this season. The tasks are very easy and do not take a lot of time if everyone shows up and participates. It is the responsibility of each skip to make sure his or her team arrives on time for the week assigned to help. A Board of Director has been assigned as a lead for opening and closing each week. They will assist, direct, and train everyone so the experience is a positive one and our league runs on time. Thank you in advance for participating. Assignments follow below.
Playoffs
Competitive League
The top six ranked teams will make it into the playoffs. The top two ranked teams will get a bye the first week and advance into the semi-finals. Teams 3 - 6 will play on the first night to determine who will make it to the semi-finals. The schedule is posted below.

The sweet sixteen games will happen during the first two hours. The Elite 8 will play during the third hour that night. The teams that advance to the final four will have their showdown on the final night, which will switch back to the standard 90 minutes and six-end format. The schedule is posted below.
