the geometry and physics and skill is beyond my comprehension

and that's without even taking into account the immense strategy involved as the end progresses

joanne's ass is mesmerizing

Her previous draws were only at 55%. Add in the pressure and she made it look easy. They barely swept for her too.

Im confused about the draws and percentages. Whats that even mean?

A draw is when they have to curl it in like Jones did on that last shot. tbh the percentage part I don't know what they use as a measure. A guess would be putting the rock into a certain area.

The percentages are a pretty basic measurement.


basically it's whether they made the shot that was called. So if the call is a draw to the 4 foot ad they make it, percentage goes up. If they miss, regardless of the outcome of the shot it goes down even if the result was positive.


Analytics people would explode.

I'm still reeling.

so does Joanne Courtney get flack from Ontario fans? It'd be great if she used the Seth Rollins line "I didn't sell out, I bought in..."

hmmm yes I see.


to be honest I'm not sure but I remembered reading an article on it and upon re-reading it does seem like there was some discomfort.

found the article and everyone stays courteous but in a very western canadian passive-aggressive way, reminiscent of when pete26 kindly resigned himself to stee ruining his tv show even though it was evident that he was boiling inside with rage.

the most telling passage:


Courtney threw third rocks for Alberta champion Val Sweeting, whose team lost the Scotties final to Homan.

The move caught the Sweeting team off-guard, who tweeted out: “Surprised and unfortunate to see her go but we wish Joanne the best of luck with Team Homan.”

Courtney informed the team of her decision late Monday night. She offered to play out her obligation and make one final appearance with the team at the $50,000 spiel in Grande Prairie starting Thursday, but that offer was declined.

“It would have been awkward for us,” said Sweeting

On at least one of the time outs, Hart gave Homan some terrible advice. Particularly when he urged Rachel to ignore two stones that Jones had near centre line and close to the rings when Team Canada had hammer. That one came back to bite them.



Amen, Dunc

I can't (frank)ing stand Richard Hart

Strangely. I think I am even more enamored with her after this revelation.

I anxiously await the withering glare from Homan the next time he offers some "advice".
