Shot by Shot For The End
1) My lead’s first rock ended up in the eight foot at eight o’clock.
2) The opponents lead rock came up short of the house guarding our rock.
3) I asked my lead to draw around their guard but it didn’t bend and landed in the
house at eleven o’clock half in the eight-foot and twelve foot.
4) The opponent’s lead drew into the top of the four-foot at seven o’clock.
5) I asked my second to tap the blue rock back that was in the top of the four-foot area.
My second’s rock slipped by their rock and landed between the eight and twelve foot
at eleven o’clock.
6) The opponent’s second’s first shot was a guard that landed two feet in front
of the house at six o’clock.
7) I called for my second to draw around the guard they just placed but ended up to the
rock on the four foot area but her rock changed handles and she ended up part way in the
four foot area and the eight foot at three o’clock.
8) The opponent’s second tried to hit the rock we just placed but ended up missing
the rock.
9) I asked my third to come through the narrow port between their guards; he executed a
perfect shot by tapping them out and rolling behind cover at nine o’clock. The rock
landed three quarters in the eight foot and one quarter in the twelve foot.
10) The opponent’s third tried to hit our rock in the four foot and roll behind cover
but the rock backed up with the extra weight and missed our rock.
11) I asked by third to guard that rock, his rock bent a little too much and landed full
eight foot at four-thirty.
12) The opponent’s third tried a perfect corner freeze but it landed in the open in
the four foot for shot.
13) I hit his rock and rolled to the button behind their center guard.
14) The opponent’s skip tried a freeze to the rock on the button but he took to much
ice and ended in the twelve foot in front of our rock at four thirty.
15) I decided to guard the small port to the button. My guard bent a little too much and
landed about six o’clock just
touching the house.
16) His final shot was to go through the narrow port and tap back the rock on the button
but his rock bent too much
and he tapped in our guard for eight. He tapped our rock into the eight-foot at seven
o’clock.
