Team Alberta, who was skipped by Hazel Jamison captured the championship after defeating BC in the tiebreaker 11–4. This was Alberta's second championship overall as they previously won in 1966.1968 Ladies Curling Championship - Curlingzone This was the first time in which a tiebreaker playoff determined the women's championship, as the previous three tiebreaker playoffs (1961, 1963, and 1964) were to determine second place. This championship set a record for the most extra-end games in one tournament, with five being played. This broke the previous mark of four which had happened twice, in 1961 and 1966. The record only lasted until the 1969 following year’s tournament. Event summary Heading into the Wednesday evening draw (Draw 7 – the third draw of the day), four teams had a chance of winning the championship, as British Columbia (BC) and Manitoba were tied for first at 5–1, while Alberta and Saskatchewan were tied for third at 4–2. The status quo was maintained by the Wednesday evening draw results, with BC defeating New Brunswick 9–4, Alberta beating Newfoundland 10–2, Saskatchewan beating Prince Edward Island 8–7, and Manitoba defeating Ontario 8–7 in an extra end. With BC still having to face Manitoba and Alberta in the two Thursday draws, things remained wide open heading into the final day of round robin play. The penultimate draw on the morning of February 29 provided more clarity on which teams would be in contention heading into the final draw on the Thursday evening. The first one to fall was Saskatchewan as they lost to New Brunswick 6–4, thus eliminating Saskatchewan from championship contention. Alberta stayed alive as they scored five in the second end and never looked back in their 9–5 victory over Quebec. Meanwhile, Manitoba appeared to have a stranglehold in their matchup with BC as they led 6–2 through six ends. However, BC scored five in the last four ends to win 7–6 and took over sole possession of first place. The final draw would have huge implications, especially with the Alberta vs. BC matchup. If BC won, then they would clinch the title outright, while an Alberta win would force a tiebreaker playoff. If both Alberta and Manitoba won, then a three-way tiebreaker would determine the championship. The latter scenario did not eventuate, as Manitoba blew yet another lead (this time 7–5 after six ends) and New Brunswick scored seven in the last four ends to win 12–7, eliminating Manitoba. It then appeared that BC would come away with the title, as after six ends they led Alberta 7–2. However that changed quickly as Alberta scored five in the seventh end to tie the game. The two teams traded singles in the next two ends and scores were level at 8 heading into the final end, with BC having hammer. On Jamison's last rock of the game for Alberta, she drew to the side of the button, but Fashoway of the BC team made an angle raise to the other side of the button. The rocks were too close to the pin to be measured, so an umpire had to make the decision to determine which rock was closer; the point—and the victory—was awarded to Alberta.Jamison Retires After Winning Shot January 28, 1969 14 Sault Star https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-sault-star/142076271/ February 25, 2024 This forced a tiebreaker playoff on the Friday morning to determine the championship. In the rematch between Alberta and BC on Friday morning, Alberta scored singles in each of the first three ends to jump out to a 3–0 lead. BC cut Alberta's lead down to one with two in the fourth. But that was as close as BC got, as Alberta put the game away with five in the fifth and a steal of two in the sixth to take a commanding 10–2 lead and eventually capture the championship 11–4 after BC conceded the tenth end.
