I thought Canada beat Korea, Britain and USA

They did, but Japan losing means they tie with them, too, and Canada lost to Japan.  So because all four teams beat each other at some point, it comes down to draws to the buttons over the week and Team Jones is dead last in that category.  

 

It is frustrating that Canada beat 3/4 of the other teams they're tied with but will not make it in.

Only way for Canada now is if Korea comes back and beats Sweden.  They're down 2 in the 10th with hammer.

Even Gushue winning gold wouldn’t salvage this mess in curling.

Ohhh that sucks

I fail to understand who decided the draw shot challenge score was a worthy tiebreaker. 

[Surlympics 865]

Why does Japan have to be involved !!

Curling Canada needs to implement this rule too. Canadian teams are always among the worst at it, and they need more practice in situations where the DCS matters.

 

Frankly curling Canada also needs to set up the stones the same way the WCF does, too.

This is heartbreaking to lose out because of this fact 

[Surlympics 865]

They should have tie breaker games

In better news a 20 year old Alexa Scott is sitting 4th and the ice maintenance break in the 1000m in Speed Skating. Great to know she did well despite being selected as an alt for the team pursuit.
