The 18 -team format at the Montana ’s Brier has had its share of critics even though six strong teams made it to the playoff round at Prospera Place .

Six -time Brier champion Brad Gushue suggested relegation — a much-criticized qualification round that was only used for a few years — be considered again.

In the relegation format, the four lowest-seeded provinces and territories played a round-robin.

Alberta ’s Brad Jacobs went a perfect 8 -0 in round-robin play and then lost his first qualifying game.

Jacobs managed to pull it off with a 7 -5 semifinal win over Gushue on Sunday afternoon and a 5 -3 victory over Manitoba ’s Matt Dunstone in the evening final.
