MOPAC Playdown Results: Teams Coleman and Walsh qualify for Club Nationals!
| Congratulations to Team Coleman on winning the women's event at MOPAC Playdowns! The win qualifies the team for Club Nationals, with Team Walsh picking up the other qualifying spot with their second place finish in the field of 6. On the men's side, Team Seeger was edged out by Team Mendoza (Hollywood) in their final match to finish 3rd. Team Wiesen, also making it out if the pool round, came away with a 4th place finish in the field of 15. It was a great weekend of curling for all the SFBACC teams!
The 2012 Club National Championships take place March 3-10 in Mankato, MN. Good luck to our two competing SFBACC teams! |

Curlers Try Bowling!
Ring in the new year and new league with a new(ish) sport! Bring your family and friends to join the SFBACC as we try bowling. Whether you've been away from the ice awhile or are about to hit the competitive circuit, come meet curlers from other locations this Saturday night (January 7th).
More volunteers needed for corporate events
The holiday season brings corporate holiday parties and many like to try curling. These events CAN NOT happen without our support and if we can support them will earn the club near $2,000! Past events we have supported along with open houses have allowed us to purchase both freezers and improved stones for our curling pleasure, so your efforts are not wasted. Please juggle your work schedule and try and find a few hours so that you can come help instruct at one of these events. You don't have to be a seasoned pro to help either.

Important Playdown Information
The SFBACC has club-specific playdown dates and policies. Because MoPac and California are growing and we're using new playdown processes this year, please pay close attention to the club website and stay in contact with the SFBACC Competitive Curling Director, Michael Lively (mlively [at] bayareacurling [dot] com), for any changes and updates.

Competitive Curling Clinic
The SFBACC is offering a competitive curling clinic on three nights in late September. Canadian high performance coach, Yadranka Thompson, will be leading the sessions. Her partner, Greg McAulay, the 2000 World Champion skip will also be there for the Oakland Wednesday and Friday sessions. Both Yadranka and Greg are expert technicians and see sports psychology as one of the key components to success at the highest level. They also helped coach local curler Gabrielle Coleman to a tied-for-fifth finish at Women's Nationals in 2011.
