think any rink should play a zone final on Home i have even seen a rink win a zone and never play a off Home if anyone wants to see our membership or wants to know How ice making is coming in we would Glady show them or Tell rather than anyone making a lot of Telephone Calls behind our if you curl in a Competition and dont win i dont see How anyone could attempt to have the Winner i guess it takes
