1999 Scott Tournament of Hearts

The 1999 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, was held from February 20 to 28, 1999[2] at the Charlottetown Civic Centre in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.[3] The total attendance for the week was 48,224.[1]

Quick Facts Host city, Arena ...

Team Nova Scotia, who was skipped by Colleen Jones won the event after beating defending champion Cathy Borst and Team Canada 6–4 in the final. This was Nova Scotia's first championship since 1983 and third overall and the second championship skipped by Jones, who previously won in 1982.

The seventeen years between championships for Jones not only broke the women's record for longest period between title wins, which was held by Marilyn Bodogh who went ten years between titles (1986 and 1996), but also broke the Canadian record regardless of gender between title wins which was previously held by Ab Gowanlock, who went fifteen years between Brier wins (1938 and 1953).

Jones' rink would go onto represent Canada at the 1999 Ford World Women's Curling Championship held on home soil in Saint John, New Brunswick where they missed the playoffs after finishing round robin play with a 4–5 record. This was the first time since 1982 (also skipped by Jones) in which Canada missed the playoffs at the world championship.

Notes

  1. For Draws 12, 15, and 16, Team British Columbia alternate Shalegh Beddington threw third stones, third Michelle Harding threw skip stones, while skip Pat Sanders sat out those draws with flu-like symptoms.[5][6]
  2. Team British Columbia alternate Shalegh Beddington threw lead stones in Draw 10.
  3. For Draw 7, Team New Brunswick alternate Mary Harding threw lead stones, lead Jane Arseneau threw third stones, skip Kathy Floyd (who usually threw third stones) threw skip stones, while fourth Marie-Anne Power was away attending her mother-in-law's funeral.[7]
  4. Team New Brunswick alternate Mary Harding threw lead stones in Draw 17.
  5. CBC was originally supposed to broadcast the final at 2:30 pm AST, but a labour dispute at CBC forced the final to be moved to 11:30 am AST so that it could be broadcast on TSN.[9]
  6. British Columbia conceded the game after the fourth end and therefore Gobertson's perfect game does not count as an official perfect game in the record books since she did not throw at least ten shots.
