The Scots men were hoist with their own petard this morning, losing to Switzerland by 4-10 after 7 ends. However they were soon back on track tonight, beating Denmark 8-2 after 6 ends. After a cagey start, the tightest games involving Scotland were today's.
The end result is that USA topped the section with 8 wins, Scotland and Canada followed with 7 wins and Switzerland completed the four qualifiers on 6 wins. Tomorrow's play-off games will be USA v Scotland, with the winner playing in the Gold/Silver Medal game on Sunday and the loser playing the winner of Canada v Switzerland in a further game, which will decide the other team in the Gold/Silver Medal game. The loser of the Canada v Switzerland game will play in the Bronze Medal match against the loser of the further game. Still with me?
The Scots women fell by the wayside, losing 2-6 to Canada in their final game. They finished 9th and were relegated to the B Championships next year, in which they have a chance to qualify for the main event, providing they reach the final, that is.
Canada finished their section with 9 wins out of 9 and are joined in the 1v2 play-off by USA who had 7 wins. Also on 7 wins were Korea and they will play the winner of tomorrow morning's tie-breaker between Hungary and Sweden, who both had 5 wins. After successfully predicting the final four in the men's tournament, I could only manage two of the women's finalists. Even after all my years of experience, I still haven't managed to fathom them out!
