Apparently they're having issues with live-streaming (only can see two sheets), so you can get a pass at a reduced cost of £5.75.  (I don't pay for this or for the Curling TV service, so idk if the Curling TV also covers this event, if it is reduced, etc.  Just passing along the info I found.)

 

I just wish they would post highlights or something...it's nothing.

So is now 5-0 and now it's written there >OQE .... I know that they have already secured first spot in the Round Robin but does it mean that they don't go to play off and qualified directly to the Olympic Qualification event? Shouldnt best 4 teams play the play-off?

No, I'm sure they'll finish up the comp because ranking points are also important for other events, but it means that the other teams now have only 3 places to play for.

1st place automatically advances to the OQE, 2nd to 4th will play for the remaining two places with 2nd and 3rd getting at least two opportunities to qualify.

 qualifying for the Olympics would be very funny, not just because the entire team is  that got  citizenship through ancestry but also because their lead is a sex toy webstore millionaire who started curling a few years ago with the explicit goal of qualifying for the Olympics.

 

And the thing is they are, actually, quite good and taking it very seriously.

 

Edit: lol, the sex toy guy is now the alternate, they found a new lead who's
