Totzek scored a single in the first end, then adding two points in the third end for an early 3-1 lead. The teams traded singles through the next four end, with Totzek leading 5-3 without hammer into the final end. Kalthoff, playing with Sam Wills and Mat Ring as a team of three, was unable to generate enough offence and was run out of rocks.

Totzek opened their season in August at the Baden Masters in Switzerland, finishing 1-3.
