agreed
and i think this isn't over, the drama will continue to play out
because it garnered a lot of attention
and because it seems pretty cut and dry rather than uncertain that this canadian curler offended against sweden
@benroyce Is there a rulebook for situations like those?

apparently, and don't listen to me too seriously because i'm just reading comments and i don't understand the game or the rules, but typically judges defer to the players to work things out themselves. apparently this sort of collegial relaxed and friendly attitude is *usually* a big part of the culture and the game of curling
didn't seem so here!

The wiki entry for curling explains a lot of things, quite helpful to learn the basic rules.

@benroyce True

@benroyce Big news here in Sweden especially with the release of a video showing the Canadian guy touching the stone again....
-
The curling stone is on the hog line and it appears his finger touches it, so yes, that would be a rule violation.
I can see these two gents exchanging gifts after the game...
Marc Kennedy: Here are some Rocky Mountain oysters for you to enjoy.
Oskar Eriksson: Well, thanks. Here’s some surströmming for you. Bon appétit ! -
@benroyce - Is that the new way to score. and then bitch to the Sweden team for pointing the touching of the stone. Hmm doesn't this similarity sound like TACO

The "fuck off" really seals the whole topic for me
I swear all the fucking time. But I'm not representing my country on the world stage in a sport renowned for being collegial

To be honest, when I read your post, I felt... Oh no!
I'm sure I'll be asked a few questions about it at work on Monday. -
@benroyce lol
Heck, I'm just a layperson.
They have to figure it out and if in result, the rules get more detailed, that's fine.
