Well played by all.

 

Watching the matches, the astute observer can discern the finer points of the game. 

But anyone can see that for all of these teams, no matter what the situation, giving up was never an option.

2022 USA CURLING MIXED NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP (First Draw - Part 2)

 At the Rochester Curling Club.

Up, down, up, down.  Do we sweep?

No question here.

Stone on the way, the sweepers help the skip's judgement.

One skip is active, the other a spectator.

Roles reversed.

Thinking the shot in.

Expecting a good shot.

A full house

Broom is placed and waiting.

The coach makes a point during a time out.

Opposition makes a nice draw.

Two stones almost equally close to the button

Time to measure!

Red just barely closer!
