Playdown After Party 2024

 #BetweenTheSheets: The Playdown After Party

Scotties field finalized, Brier field taking shape

Are you getting tired curling fans? Maybe a bit sleepy?

This past weekend was THE BIGGEST playdown party scene we have attended.

It produced THE BIGGEST playdown preview blog post EVER last week.

And, when the last rock settled, we crowned 15 provincial/territorial champions!!

But don't let the sun set on the fun yet rock heads.

We have 2 more provincial playdowns headlining the #PlaydownAfterParty this week.

PLUS national championships taking place in Japan, USA and Sweden.

Note of course Sweden's national championship will NOT determine their world championship representatives as those have already been announced as Team Hasselborg and Team Edin.

Of course remember, we still will have 2 more playdowns to watch out for the following week.

As S Club 7 famously sang "Don't Stop Moving"!

Playdown Party Part II

Handing out final tickets to Calgary and more for Regina

As one weekend of provincial/territorial playdowns comes to an end, we gear up for another week of playdown party action.

And this upcoming week will be THE BIGGEST PLAYDOWN PARTY EVER!!

We have EIGHT (8!!) women's provincial playdown championships to watch.

We have SEVEN (7!!) men's provincial playdown championships to watch.

And #TwineTime has the FULL PREVIEW of all FIFTEEN (15!!!!!) championships for you rock heads.

Can we say it again?

Welcome to THE BIGGEST PLAYDOWN PARTY post in the history of the blog.

No wonder the blog brought back the Wayne's World graphic to open this post.

Ready to "Party On"??!!

Playdown Party 2024

 #BetweenTheSheets: Welcome To Playdown Party 2024

All eyes on Canadian playdown drama

Welcome back an annual tradition for the blog. You have all been invited to the biggest party of the year, the Playdown Party!

Last year we finally saw the return of provincial/territorial playdowns, previously wiped out due to COVID-19 for a few seasons.

And what a party we had. We partied like it was....2018? 2019?

Are you ready to do it all over again in 2024?

You have the invite in your hand. Put on your best curling gear. Come and knock on my door. We've been waiting for you. Lets get it started in here!

S2324 W25 - Pre-Playdown Tune-Up

 #BetweenTheSheets: Pre-Playdown Tune-Up Time

Getting ready for playdown season

January is officially here.

No, not because the weather has become frigid.

And no, not because everyone is hitting the gym to work off holiday celebrations.

And no, not because everyone is feeling a bit blue and grumpy and not wanting to go to work.

No, no rock heads. None of those reasons remind us we are in the first month of a new year.

Yes, it is because curling teams in Canada are preparing for upcoming provincial and territorial championships.

Welcome to Playdown Season.

Are you ready?

Power Rankings - Welcome to 202

  #BetweenTheSheets: The Power Rankings Return

Bring on the 1st updated Power Rankings of 2024

Happy New Year!!

Did everyone enjoy the holiday season? Celebrate with some great people and great food? Maybe a few great drinks?

Hopefully everyone within the curling family was able to step away from the rink and spend quality time with those most important to them.

And hey, maybe a few of you went to the rink with those special people and had some fun as well.

Either way, the blog wishes you all a Happy New Year and all the best in 2024.

Thank You for continuing to support the #TwineTime blog and podcast. It means a lot and hopefully the content in 2024 will keep you coming back from more.

A new podcast episode may be dropping next week too....just sayin' 😉

Now lets get to some curling, shall we?
