A better day for the Scotland Women with a narrow win against Korea by 6-5. There were no scores in the first 3 ends, then the Scots took the lead in the 4th end and were never behind after that. In the evening session, they had another close game, this time against Norway, but lost 6-7 in the last end. A reasonable day's play, considering they were up against two of the top teams.

With only one game left, Switzerland and Norway are guaranteed Semi-finalists, Switzerland on 8 wins and Norway on 6 wins. Japan, Scotland and Sweden are tied on 5 wins to contest the remaining 2 places. For the crunch game tomorrow afternoon, the Scots take on United States.

Scotland Men had an equally close encounter with Korea, winning 7-6 in the last end with 2 shots.

The Men have 2 games to play tomorrow and Germany have already done enough to qualify with 6 wins. Scotland lie second with 5 wins, followed by China, Italy, Norway, Switzerland and United States on 4 wins. The Scottish team play United States at 8 am and finish against Norway at 6pm, both tough opponents. If it's any consolation, both China and Italy also have 2 games against the above challengers, so the final table might be turned upside down, with 6 teams playing for 3 Semi-final places.
