Like if you're watching the Scotties
RT if you're watching the Olympics
Comment with a gif if watching both
If watching neither....go find a TV (or other device) and turn it on for Pete's sake.
Me, talking to my 7-year old
"WC means Wild Card. That's not actually a province in Canada.
NO means Northern Ontario....which is also not actually a province."

I know you pick rock colors for strategery reasons or whatever. But please think of us watching at home and choose the color that matches your uniform.
Thaaaaaaanks
If curling is going to become such a professional sport that teams are announced without the actual teams consent, maybe they should be paid enough to deal with that sort of treatment.
Clubs: *complain loudly on social media*
USAC:"....social media is not the proper forum"
Clubs: *Wait with hand up during members assembly meeting*
USAC: "meeting adjourned"
Things that are illegal in cuing:
Burning rocks
Hog line violation
Sweeping opponent stone before t-line
Something that SHOULD be illegal in curling
8 AM Saturday morning draws
@worldcurling
plz consider updating rules, kthx
Curling Canada be like "Breaking News: 2023 Scotties will be a 64-team, single elimination event. We will announce the field in a special 'Selection Sunday' show"
Why don't we just agree on the following:
10 ends for Championships
8 ends for slams
And then, during a leap year
11 ends for Championships
9 ends for slams
UNLESS the Championship/slam occurs over February 29th
14 ends for both
If you are just being introduced to the game of curling through the Olympics, Welcome!
And I want to be clear.
We do not take a break in the middle of the end.
Thank you....hope to see you on the ice.
Let me be clear. This is not the end.
More work needs to be done. Some healing needs to happen in our community.
This is a start, and a good start at that. And for that...we can celebrate.
Tomorrow, more work awaits us.
DID YOU KNOW
If you take 15 curling stones on a sheet,
and rack them like they are billiard balls...
๐ฅ
๐ฅ๐ฅ
๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
and throw peel weight with the remaining stone...
...people will stop inviting you to play on their team?
Look....no one wants to point fingers as to why a team is struggling...but I'm gonna say it
Before
@jlandsteiner
gave up wordle....Team Shuster was 2-1.
Now 2-3.
John...the team needs your 5-letter guesses
My league team this spring includes my 12-year old niece. Which is super awesome...we hardly ever have juniors in our club due to draw times.
Tonight she told me "You're a lot nicer when you're curling than you are other times"
So there's that...
To paraphrase someone far more clever than I....
Whoever made a dark magic deal to get curling more national attention when it is not an Olympic cycle, please don't anymore
New Team Homan throwing order:
Homan skips, but throws lead rocks
Fleury holds the broom for Rachel, and throws second
Miskew continues to throw third
Wilkes throws 4th, and sweeps her own rocks
If Wisconsin (and maybe Minnesota) follows GNCC into USA Curling purgatory, should we all form our own region? We can call it "Most of the Country Curling"?
