Derrick Anderson and his team Manitoba have qualified for the double knockout playoff round at the Everest Curling Championships at Assiniboine Memorial. A 10-3 Thursday morning win over Nunavut gave the Manitobans a 4W-2L record, tied for first in their pool with Saskatchewan and BC.

Three teams in the other pool (Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) also finished 4W-2L. Alberta was the only team to finish with a perfect 6W-0L record.

Manitoba will face Ontario in their first playoff game at 4PM Thursday. With a win they will play the winner of Alberta and Quebec. A loss will move them to play the loser on the B-side of the draw.

Four teams will advance to a single knockout medal round.

Kara Balshaw’s Manitoba team has a 2W-3L record after five games and plays Nunavut at 12:30PM. A win and a 3W-3L record may be good enough to advance.
