These Championships begin at The Peak, in Stirling, Scotland on Sunday 3 March and continues until Sunday 10 March, when the Medal games will take place. Bafflingly, there will be 6 qualifiers for the later stages. 1st and 2nd from the round-robin stage will go directly into the Semi-finals with 3rd playing 6th and 4th playing 5th to decide the other 2 Semi-finalists.
This year the competition is expanded to 12 teams - Canada, China, Estonia, Germany, Korea, Latvia, Norway, Russia, Scotland, Slovakia, Switzerland and United States. Defending Champions Norway are Silver medallists from the Paralympic Winter Games. China, the Paralympic Champions, and Russia (Gold, Gold and Silver in the last 3 Worlds) should all be in the hunt for medals with hosts Scotland a strong contender.
Scotland's team consists of Aileen Neilson (Skip), Hugh Nibloe (Third), Bob McPherson (Second), David Melrose (Lead) and Gary Logan (Altenate). Aileen has already won 1 Silver and 2 Bronzes in these Championships, including 2017 Bronze with Hugh and Bob. They are coached by Sheila Swan.
