  • 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.

An attempt to re-locate the centre to Fort San failed last week when the village council voted against that idea on the grounds that a substance abuse centre does not fall within the definition of a residential care fa- cility as set out in the zoning bylaws. Although the vote was not officially recorded, some media outlets re- ported that three councillors voted against Pine Lodge and that the Mayor Steve Helfrick abstained. In fact, Councillor John Naumetz said he intended to vote in favour of the re-location, but “jumped the gun” and voted no. “My intent was to vote in favour. But I made a mistake,” he told Grasslands News. Naumetz also said The Friends of Fort San, which presented its petition against Pine Lodge, made a number of misleading statements in their submission to council. “They claimed there is no room for park- ing. There is plenty of room for parking on the PCTC grounds; it has space for as many as 60 cars. PCTC has handled up to 100 guests without any problems.” ALAN HUSTAK | GRASSLANDS NEWS However, because Brad Williams resigned from COVID shot council before the vote was taken, the end result would 9HOYD6TXLUH O JHWVD&29,'YDFFLQHVKRWIURP-DFNLH.HOPDQ U DWWKHVHQLRU·VFHQWUHLQ)RUW4X·$S- have been the same.
