There's been a slight reshuffle at the top of the leader board after Session 17. Scotland and USA had a hard-fought game, with the Scots never behind until the 9th end where they lost 3 shots, but recovered to force an extra end with 2 shots. With last stone advantage, USA held all the aces and won the game 10-9.
Not only that, but Italy demolished Norway 10-3, scoring 5 shots in the 5th end. And not only that, but USA had earlier beaten Norway 6-5 after an extra end.
As things stand now, RCF and Sweden have 8 wins out of 10 and should gain at least a play-off place. Canada, Norway, Scotland and USA have 7 wins out of 10, followed by Italy and Switzerland on 5 wins.
Wins on the board are very important right now, because over the next couple of days, RCF play Norway and Scotland, Canada play Sweden and Norway. USA should qualify comfortably as their final games are against 3 of the bottom 5 teams. Italy's final 2 games are against bottom 5 teams, as are Switzerland's who still have to play 4 of the bottom 5, so neither can be discounted. Squeaky bottom time coming up!
