And yet again the number 3 plays a big part in Scotland's fortunes. Not content with losing the usual one score of 3, Scotland managed to lose two scores of 3 against Switzerland, losing 6-10 in the process. It's certainly frustrating for me, so it must be far worse for the players. Switzerland are certainly the form team with each of their individual players comfortably top of the scoring charts. It didn't turn out too bad as United States were beaten as well, by Sweden, so Scotland are still within striking distance of a rival. RCF suffered their first defeat against Czech Republic (with 3 shots in the last end).
In their next game, the Scots managed to beat bottom-of-the-table Estonia by 8-5 and still lost a score of 3 shots. Fortunately it was in the 3rd end, leaving plenty of time to recover.
Due to the earlier postponed games, the table looks a bit skew-whiff, but the RCF have definitely qualified for the final stages with 9 wins after 10 games. Switzerland (9 games) have 8 wins, Sweden (9 games) have 7 wins, as have US after 11 games. Scotland come next with 6 wins from 10 games, followed by Denmark with 5 wins from 9 games. Canada and Germany also have 5 wins, but from 10 games. China and Korea are on the fringes with 4 wins, but could reach 7 wins before the end.
