Ok so if a train leaves Toronto at 3:04 pm and another leaves Winnipeg at 3:07 pm . . .

Briar/Scottie playoffs... Do we really need page playoffs?
Why not have 3rd-6th from the two groups into a playoff round. Winners go into quarter-finals with 1st/2nd from the two groups - then semis and final in the obvious way.
(And teams that miss out through lack of tiebreakers were 7th in their group, and unlikely to win the event)
