Curl with a celebrity skip and enjoy the chance of participating in a Team Auction in mid-April.
In the Roy Blair, participants declare what position they would like to play.
Then a draft night is held where players are called up by positions (leads go first) and choose which skip they wish to play for.
A next two days after the draft night each team plays in a number of truncated games in a "points" bonspiel format. The winning rink is the one that accumulates the most points after the Blair is done.
Roy Blair represented the spirit of the Ottawa in that he was a great curler but also wanted everyone, no matter what their skill level, to participate.
His life ended early in a tragic drowning accident in 1977.
