It's not only Glen's shot making this gone down hill his decision making is getting pretty questionable too couple of examples:

1. In the game against balsdon in the 9th end he was sitting 2 with only 2 rocks to com for balsdon. Greg had no way of getting rid of both easily. Glenn decides to try and hit out 3rd shot. The rock overcurlsand it turns out as bad as it ever could. He takes out both of his rocks and kicks Greg's in behind cover to sit shot, setting up Greg for 2

2. N the game against Epping, again in the 9th he chooses to try and blank on an Epping rock that is basically dead barrier and frozen to a biter at the back. He overcurls andgives a steal of 1.

It was a rough day for him. He never should have lost the balsdon game. He also flashed an open hit for 2 in 7 that would have put him up by 4 with 3 to go, effectively winning the game.

Can he rebound today? He better hope he can

As for Epping. Well I was wrong and I am happy I was. He has firs place locked up. Hopefully he will finally get to the Brier. He is Ontario's best hope for a win

I'm going to give the streaming another chance but watch on my desktop instead of the iPad.

Looks like Flaxey is sinking fast, a couple of more losses and she could be in the stands tomorrow watching instead of playing.

I've been streaming all week, paid for the early bird $10.95 all access pass and haven't had any quality issues at all. HD streaming with no buffering issues and no compression issues. Sound has been great. Only hiccup was Sunday night when they basically failed to get the stream up for the draw.

4 loss teams arent even out of the mix yet. if flaxey loses to homan this afternoon and auld loses to tippin and balsdon today then 4 losses will get you a tiebreaker and auld is down 2 in 10 to tippin right now

technically sherry isnt out of it yet

Final Women's Draw Playoff Scenarios
AUL-BAL MID-TIP FLA-HOM HAR-HEG

Harrison(5-1)
Need to win to clinch 1st; with a loss & HOM win they get 2nd; with a loss & HOM loss they get 1st
Homan(5-1)
Need to win & HAR lose to get 1st; All other scenarios get them 2nd.

Auld(3-3), Flaxey(3-3), Tippin(3-3)
Teams Need to win and have the other 2 lose to get 3rd place alone
With a win and one of the other 2 teams win = T-B
If they all lose it creates a massive T-B scenario that could bring Middaugh and Heggestad back in.

Heggestad(2-4)
Need to win & have TIP,AUL,FLA lose to get into a T-B.
Middaugh(2-4)
Need to win & have FLA & AUL lose to get into a T-B.


(In case there's a 3 way tie for 3rd between Tippin,Auld & Flaxey, here are their Round Robin Results against eachother. Auld-Flaxey would play in TB1 to face Tippin in TB2)
Tippin d. Auld
Tippin d. Flaxey
Auld d. Flaxey

After looking at all this, I like how Alberta does it - triple knockout...and more teams can play and no tiebreakers.

If Raytch wants to rep Ontario she'll have to earn her keep!

How in the hell do you lead for an entire game and then gives up 7 points in 3 ends to lose. What an epic collapse from Epping

Even if they somehow manage to recover from that mentally in time for tomorrow I dont know that he will be ablgto beat howard in a final situation.which issD, because I'd really love to see Epping be toa brier

Wow, what a come from behind win for Howard. You gotta hand it to him, he just doesn't give up. Too bad these games aren't televised for everyone to enjoy.

We were there, and now I wish I'd stayed, but thought Epping had it in the bag. I have always admired Howard and rooted for him numerous times, but this year we've gone with Epping. Hoping he recovers tomorrow morning. What a heartbreaking loss for that team. I wish I know what happened, but we had a trip ahead of us.

If John doesn't win his SF it will be heartbreaking.

..he had a draw to the entire left hand side/and middle of the sheet for his 1, instead decided to sneak draw into this pack of rocks on the right side....missed, gave up a steal of 2.

I can understand Epping's call in the 9th end based on the game conditions. They middle of the sheet was definitely catching some picks and John didn't really feel confident going there.

The shot on the outside should have been a gimme to give up 1, but he threw too much weight and must have got it out a bit protecting against the wreck that he ended up giving up 2.

It as hard to look at the call John made and not think he would outcount 2nd shot for sure. He needed 3 feet or so of curl to get shot and 1 feet of curl to only give up 1. He must have thrown it a bit wide and heavy, which resulted in the steal of 2.
