Curling Canada has decided to use the national ranking system as its selection criteria for the final wild-card berths at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts and Tim Hortons Brier.
The announcement clears a path to the Calgary bubble for Manitoba s Mackenzie Zacharias and Ontario s Glenn Howard. Beth Peterson, also from Manitoba, saw her chances greatly improve but the decision closed the door on Alberta s Kelsey Rocque and Saskatchewan s Robyn Silvernagle.

Curling Canada has decided to use the national ranking system as its selection criteria for the final wild-card berths at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts and Tim Hortons Brier.
Members of team P.E.I. sweep their rock during the 9th draw against team Quebec at the Brier in Brandon, Man., on March 5, 2019. A first-place position in the provincial standings wasn t enough for Team Jeremy Harty to get the nod as Team Alberta at the Tim Hortons Brier. While disappointed with Curling Alberta s decision, Harty still has a chance to get the third and final wild-card spot in the draw.HE CANADIAN PRESS/Jonathan Hayward
