We headed out a bit early to see a bit more of the previous round and to catch up with Gerry and Michelle. We did manage a short walk to Lake Ontario where we liked the dedication benches. At 12.00 we played the Canadian team Morrissey. In a disciplined game decided by the sixth end in which we applied pressure that was impossible to resist. We held on to the end and so we progress to play Sherry Middaugh at 9.00pm local time. The whole tournament is a triple knock out with slightly different rules than we are used to. For example, when teams have the same LSD, they have a second try, but played with no scorers! And that's not all, there are more anomalies, but more on those later.
