Well it certainly look like I’m in the minority on this. I do agree it is cool that every province and territory* is represented however some of them just do not belong on the ice with the elites of the game. Another idea I had was that they divide the two pools by ranking, the top 9 in one pool with 5 qualifying for the playoffs and the bottom 9 in another pool with one team qualifying for the playoffs. This would create much more parity throughout the week and still give every team a chance to win the Breir.
Overall Brier attendance is nothing what it use to be and not trending well. I know there are layers as to why, but the competition level has to be examined as one. The other biggie is that Curling Canada is staying away from large venues/ cities.
