Apologies for being late with this report. I was on airport duty through the night and needed my beauty sleep. 
The Scots ladies took advantage of my absence by seeing off China 8-6 after winning 3 of the last 4 ends, then repeated the dose by beating Switzerland by 7-4, winning 2 of the last 3 ends. This elevated them to 5 wins and 4 defeats, alongside Germany and Switzerland, behind definite qualifiers Canada on 9 wins, Sweden on 7 wins and Russia on 6 wins.
Today's games saw Scotland earn a place in the 3v4 game after beating Germany 7-2 in a game that was tight early on but Scotland settled it with 3 shots in the last end. They then scraped a vital win against Czech Republic, scoring 2 shots in the last end to win by 7-6.
Four wins in the last four games have rescued the tournament for the Scots and these wins also ensured that GBR have qualified for the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang, Republic of Korea.
There are no Tie-breakers required, so the games to come are:-
Tomorrow's 1v2 Play-off Game - Canada v Russia
Saturday's 3v4 Play-off Game - Sweden v Scotland
Saturday's Semi-final is between the loser of the 1v2 game and the winner of the 3v4 game.
The Medal Games will take place on Sunday.
