Here are the Final results of the Round Robin

CANADA WINS! On Shannon Kleibrink’s Last Rock!
* Go Canada Go! Team Canada will now play Switzerland in the Semi-Final on Wednesday. There are no tie-breaker games tomorrow.

If Team Canada Loses and there is a tie-breaker
* If Russia loses, then it’s easy – GBR vs CAN ..
* If Russia Wins, then Canada gets a ‘bye’ and Russia and Great Britain would play first, and Canada would play the winner because Team Canada women beat each team individually (session 3 and 7)

Canada and Denmark!
* 9th end … TIED!! I’m sure the women’s Great Britain team are biting their nails about now. Russian Federation also has to win this game to remain in the series …. Nail biting ~

Japan is now out of medal competition
* If Team Canada were to lose, Japan would not be tied as they have lost their game to Switzerland

Amy Nixon is not playing due to stomach illness or food poisoning
* Team Canada’s 3rd Amy Nixon is watching the game and Alternate Sandra Jenkins is taking over Glenys Bakker’s second position, and Glenys Bakker is taking over Amy’s position
* Get Well Soon Amy!
* I sure hope that skip Shannon Kleibrink doesn’t get this illness in the next few days …

If Team Canada Loses and Rhona Martin
*in 2002, Rhona Martin and the GBR team was in a similar situation, in the tie-breaker round, and ended up going all the way to win the Gold in women’s curling. Of course, if Team Canada wins .. GBR is out.

This is how the standings are going
* If Canada beats Denmark, there will be no tie breaker
* If Canada loses against Denmark, there will be a tie-breaker with Great Britain. If Japan beats Switzerland, there will be a 3-way tie. If Russian Federation beats Norway, then there should be a 4-way tie

I’m back
* Sorry guys .. had client meeting, and I just arrived back to watch the games mid-end #6 .. how’s it going, eh?
