It’s just that we had some chances and we couldn’t use them. It was a good game, a close game, an interesting game and we were unlucky that we didn’t win. “It’s good to know we have another chance but we would rather be in the final now.” She said she thought she’d thrown her final stone “pretty well”. “But on that side the ice slowed down, it was playing 13.5 (seconds) and it was maybe 30 centimetres short,” she said. “There were a couple of bad situations where we were really, really close.

Preston’s team couldn’t even score 1 shot until the 5th end and followed this with a 2 at the 6th to trail Ewen Baird’s team 5 - 3. The 7th end changed the scoreline completely. Ewen had 2 opportunities to remove one of the sitting stones or at least draw into the house but failed on both occasions resulting in a wonderful 8 - Ender for Preston. Ewen’s team rallied to claim back 4 shots in the 8th end but finally lost the game 9 - 11.

  • The Evolution of Curling Analytics
    The Evolution of Curling Analytics Kevin Palmer, Gerry Geurts and Jason Gunnlaugson CurlingZone Paper ID 13281 1. Introduction Simple in concept but actually quite complex, curling is often called “chess on ice”. Like innings in baseball, curling takes place over “ends” (8 or 10). Each end comprises of 16 shots, with each shot a decision point in the contest. In a 10-end game the captain of each team, known as the “skip”, makes 80 decisions. This makes for 160 decisions between two teams. In many cases the decision is universally accepted, but very often there can be disagreement on the correct called shot and one poor choice can turn the course of the game. Because of the way curling is played, each decision can be examined using analytics. What is the chance my teammate will successfully execute this shot? What will my opponent likely do next? What are the conditions of the ice and how will that effect our chance of making this shot and each subsequent shot? Based on the outcome of my decision, what is my probability of winning the game? Given the shot-by-shot structure of curling, many would consider statistical analysis as both desired and perhaps necessary for success. This is traditionally not the case. Curling is a game steeped in tradition, where parents and grandparents pass on experience to the next generation. In many instances, some of the best teams in the world stop and consider several options (while a chess timer is ticking away) when pre-planning could help clarify the correct decision much faster.

Vår verksamhetsidé pekar på komplexiteten i sporten; att den både är för de som vill tävla och vara sociala, att man får använda både hjärna och känsla, och framförallt att det är den unika kombinationen av individ och lagsport. Vi har den för att förtydliga vilka som passar för curling så vi får lättare att rekrytera nya curlare. Ett framgångsrikt exempel av vår verksamhetsidé är Det fungerade curlinglaget. Vår Värdegrund Svensk curling är en öppen och modern idrott som präglas av glädje, gemenskap, sportmannaskap och nyfikenhet. Vår värdegrund innebär att hjälpa varandra är en grundpelare i att utvecklas och ha kul inom curling. Eftersom vi vill att omvärlden ska tycka på ett visst sätt om oss måste vi uppträda så. Curlingen välkomnar alla oavsett ålder, kön, religion eller hudfärg. Ett framgångsrikt exempel av vår värdegrund är att man önskar varandra god Curling, berömmer bra stenar och visar aldrig att man blir glad om motståndaren missar. Samt att vi är våra egna domare. Vår Vision Svensk curling är världsbäst, ett föredöme i ledarskap och Sveriges mest efterfrågade idrott. Vår vision innebär att vi ska fortsätta vara världsledande i alla aspekter och att så många som möjligt ska vilja prova curling.
