We're finally getting underway tomorrow with World Championship Curling, when Scotland open their 13 round-robin games against hosts Canada at 9am local time. Then they play Denmark at 7pm with the game versus The Netherlands at 9am on Saturday, followed by Korea at 7pm. With an alleged time difference of 7 hours, these times should be 4pm and 2am respectively, but what with MDT, DST and BST to contend with, my brain is beginning to hurt.
After the round-robin games, the top six teams qualify for the play-off stage. The teams ranked first and second qualify directly for the semi-final games. The third-ranked team will play the sixth-ranked team in one qualification game and the fourth-ranked team and fifth-ranked team will face each other in the other.
Bruce Mouat's team were selected to represent Scotland and will make their third appearance as a team. They had a great first showing at the championship in 2018, finishing with a 12-2 record and winning the bronze medals. The players are Bruce Mouat (Skip), Grant Hardie (Vice-Skip), Bobby Lammie and Hammy McMillan with Ross Whyte as alternate.
