Three games of the twelfth round ended after six ends.

I was ready to go to the hall as soon as possible after the end of the meeting (WCF annual meeting) to watch the rest of the Czech Republic - Japan match. The Canada - Finland game was just ending on TSN 12 : 4 (after six ends), apparently another murder of innocents. Also, the Norwegians outplayed their opponents from France in six ends. Unfortunately, our duel with Japan also joined the epidemic of six end games. After six ends, we lost 3 : 9. According to the official statistics, the Japanese played at 83%, which is a pretty high standard. I stopped rushing, I'm going to have lunch and spend the afternoon on negotiations regarding the organization of various competitions in the Prague curling hall. EJCC, EMCC, WWhCQ and God knows what else. There are a lot of questions about Prague and it almost deserves a printed material in English about Prague and curling. In the evening we will be waiting for the Swiss team - old friends Ralph, Stefan etc. We will be cheering for our players, Jiří Snítil, Martin Snítil, Jindřich Kitzberger, Karl Uhr and Miloš Hoferk. We want another win! WCF has another member, Turkey.
