This week was the last week of the second season (of three) of Thursday Night Curling. Our team found itself in an interesting position. If we won, we most likely would get bumped up to the 'A' Division... If we lost, we got to stay in the easier 'B' Divison. "Well that's easy," you say. "You go for the win and move up the ladder!" Not so fast there, Buckeroo. You see, at the end of the season there are two playoff games... The top two teams in each division play for their respective championship. So, if we were in the 'A' Division, we'd have virtually no shot of making the playoff. However, if we were still in the 'B' Division, we'd have an excellent shot at making the playoff. So, what do we do now, Smart Guy? "Well, you throw the game, of course. Go for the half-glory of being in the 'B' final instead of finishing in elitist obscurity." No! We go for the win! You ALWAYS GO FOR THE WIN!
And so we won. It was another funny game in which we went up by 5 points then gave back two in the second-last end, then barely survived the other team stealing 3. But it doesn't matter how we won... we won. So, now it looks like we're probably up to the 'A' Division. I say probably because there's still the outside shot that I still have no idea how the league rules work. I'll find out for sure next week, and let all of you, my passionatly rabid fans, know the word on the street.
I say important things of importance
