| Sheet 1 - Game D51 - Complete |
Both teams are out of contention. I'm not sure why they are playing it, especially since the bar is open. Stay tuned for the half-way point - the losing team will be playing without pants!
- They are still playing....
- Tilker, subbing for Guzman makes a nice shot. Still playing the 2nd end - they may run out of time at this pace...
- Still playing!
- They should stack their brooms for a break at the bar.
- Guzman takes 3 to force Kauffman's team to play with no pants!
- What's going on? They're still wearing pants? I can't believe are going to renege on the bet. There are a ton of rocks in play!
- The officials declared a uniform violation to prevent the Kauffman team from removing their pants. Betty was also concerned that they might dribble on the ice.
- Guzman steals another in this game that still means nothing - except bragging rights to them. :)
- Really? Still playing?
- Somehow they made up some time. Kauffman scores one- not quite enough....

- Clark made a nice come-around draw to the four foot. Beighton's rock was overswept on the run-back and rolled out to leave Clark with a steal of one.
