Yep, the quality in this match is well above most of the matches I’ve seen this week.

funkybottoms posted:i was about to ask how early teams usually concede, but, whelp, there you go There is a minimum number of ends they have to play and in major events (the televised ones), that number is a bit higher than at a club. My memory is hazy as to who it was or when (I'm pretty sure it was a couple of "household" names at a Brier) but once during a really lopsided affair teams decided to split the fine for ditching the game early, shook hands and went to drink beer. It was a very curling thing to do, but it caused problems with the television schedule and the fines were dramatically increased for the next event. EDIT: Glenn Howard (Ontario) was up 11-1 on Eddie MacKenzie (P.E.I.) at the 2011 Brier. They shook after five, minimum is seven at the event. It wasn't the TV game, but Canadian Curling Association officials said it disappoints people who paid to get in. Like watching Howard further whallop that poor Islander made for fun viewing... Also, newer teams will sometimes continue to take the beating just to build up more experience against considerably better teams. Just this past Scotties, the Northwest Territories played Manitoba into the 8th end despite being down 12-1 heading into the 7th. Based on the score cards, that wasn't the only instance, but its the only one I remember seeing on TV. I'm all for it when it involves the territories, because more chances for Sarah Koltun to try crazy-rear end shots is better than less.

I forget who it was, but in the mixed event, one of the teams got a special dispensation from the officials to concede after 5 ends. That looked like the old Rachel Homan team. Here comes the comeback baby!

I Greyhound posted:So many of the NBC announcing group are insipid, but I love listening to Kevin Martin's analysis. Bankok posted:He was so into the Russian with the glasses, every throw he commented on her remarkable form. I checked Twitter but apparently she hasn't been getting much love, it's all about the woman from the Russian mixed doubles team. Regarding the game, the last OAR stone was a mistake to just go for the 8 foot. They needed to block the top of the 12 foot. No chance the USA skip would've been able to draw around.

The OAR thing was a mistake, and they should have done a simple ban.
