Tough Day Three in Colorado
It was a tough day for Team Lin at the Olympic Trials today. Their first game was against Cristin Clark of Seattle. Charrissa scored 4 early on but Cristin battled back and the game went to an extra end. Charrissa didn't have the hammer and her last stone guard just didn't curl enough to cover all of her previous draw to the top 4. Cristin's sweepers were able to get her peel just past the guard and remove shot stone for the win. It was a really tough loss for the team.
In the late afternoon game, Team Lin took on Patti Lank who had defeated Erika Brown earlier in the day. This was a very well played game and once again there were many great shots made. Shot of the day and of the tournament so far was Charrissa's hammer shot in the 4th end.
Lank had 3 red stones in the four-foot in front of 1 yellow Lin stone just behind the tee. Patti had shot, Charrissa 2nd but there was a center guard in front of all the stones and it wasn't looking good for Team Lin to score. Already down 3-1, a steal would put them in a hole.
Charrissa elected to throw back 8-foot weight and attempt to curl around the center guard, past 1 red stone in the top 4 just on the left side of center, wick off a second red stone in the 4-foot on the right side of center and then bump back the shot stone. Perfect throw, perfect weight, perfect sweeping equals perfect shot. Team Lank was stunned as Charrissa not only got past the guards and bumped the shot stone, but she moved it far enough to count 2 and tie the game. Just spectacular. Any more weight and the stone wouldn't have curled enough to make the shot. Any less weight and the shot stone wouldn't have moved far enough to count 2.
Unfortunately, although there were more great shots made during the game, Patti gradually built up a multi-point lead and won the game.
So it was definitely a tough day for the team. A few inches in the first game was all the difference between a win and loss. Winning that game could have given them the momentum to upset Lank. Such is the game of curling - sometimes it just sucks.
The team is playing better every game and it's only a matter of time before they get that first W, which is always the hardest one to get (that and the last.) I'll be doing the audiocast of the women's 10am MST (noon EST) draw on Tuesday if you want to listen during your lunch break. I'll also try to post some more pictures tomorrow night if I get some work done before then :)

Day Two of the Olympic Trials
This multi-media thing is starting to get to me, and it's only the second day in Colorado. Half exhausting, half exhilarating, I'm getting addicted to this all-connected, all-the-time thing. Tweets during the morning game, then audiocasts for the next two draws - I'm exhausted.
But I'm not the important one. Team Lin is what everyone wants to hear about. It was a tough day for them as they went 0-2 losing to Aileen Sormunnen in the morning and Cassie Potter in late afternoon. A few misses in each game put them behind but they fought back valiantly in both games to make them close.
Again, some great shots in both games but the best was probably Charrissa's draw in the 7th end against Cassie on her last stone. Cassie had just made a great shot to lie 2 buried in the four-foot with hammer. Charrissa was hoping to just freeze on her front stone to hold Cassie to 1, but when the stone came past the guards and started to curl hard, a great sweep call enabled them to roll the stone off the shot rock to sit 1, completely buried. A cheer erupted from the 150+ crowd. Cassie was a bit heavy on her last stone and Charrissa's team stole an important 1 to pull within two, now down 7-5.
Earlier in the 3rd end, Charrissa had almost the same shot on her last stone, playing a tap on Cassie's shot stone buried on the button. Cassie was sitting 3 and Charrissa had to come through a very small port, past two guards on the inside and one on the outside. She made a great throw and Nicole and Karen swept it past the first pair of guards but it just wicked Cassie's 3rd shot at the top of the 4. Had they been able to get it past, they would have taken 1 instead of giving up a steal of 3 - a four-point swing and the difference between being down 3-1 and 6-0. Definitely not an easy shot, as Cassie herself complimented Charrissa at the start of the fourth end "That was a great shot." Sportsmanship at its best.
The team continues to play better every game and it's only a matter of time before they get that first W and start posting more on the board.

Listen Live to Feb 22nd 6pm Broadcast -Olympic Trials
listen to the action live (6pm game) from the Olympic trials at http://38.96.148.141:6870/ from Derek Surka & Jennifer Stannard
Sand Papering the rocks video 3
This last video shows how we blue print the rocks so we can match them.
Sand Papering the rocks video 2
This 2nd video shows rotations on the 80 grit sand paper. We turned them 5 times on the 80 grit and did 3 pushes and a pull for more curl.
Sand Papering the rocks video 1
This 1st video shows how carefully the rock was turned for each rotation. We turned each of the rocks 35 times on 60 grit sand paper.
Olympic Trials Day One
The Nutmeg Curling Club was well represented at the US Olympic Trails - Curling (the official title) today in Broomfield, CO (just outside Denver.) Not only did Team Lin have the largest cheering section, we also had the largest banner, and the opening vignette in the Opening Ceremonies video. Oh yeah, we also had a good team there as well!
Charrissa's team, consisting of Nicole Vasser (lead, Broomstones), Karen Walker (2nd, Broomstones), Tanya Jacobsen (vice, Potomac), herself (skip, Nutmeg) and coaches Joseph Smith and Diane Muldowney opened the round robin against the top-ranked and 3-time defending National Champions Debbie McCormick rink from Wisconsin.
Seed 1 vs Seed 10. Not a game expected to be close but after 5 ends it was 5-4 McCormick ahead. The women were playing well and handling the Trials environment like experienced veterans. Arena ice and crowds (400 tickets were sold for the first day) are very different conditions than normal bonspiel play (although we hear we now have 25 second ice with the revamped stones - woohoo!) The third end was particularly impressive as 3 perfect last stones led to 2 points for Team Lin.
Unfortunately, things got hairy in the 6th end and Debbie had an open hit for 5 or 6. Fortunately, David Asano's mother was in the house and Debbie over-curled her hit and jammed our stone for a steal of one! Unfortunately, David's mom must have had an out-of-body experience during the 7th end and we gave up 5 points to go down 10-5. Charrissa made a great draw in the 8th but unfortunately (again - are you seeing a trend here?) it was only for 1. Handshakes followed.
The team is now resting and hopefully so is David's mom. We can't have any more out-of-body experiences from her. Jennifer, Sharon, David and his mom seem to be having a great time and the team loves having them here. Tanya's mother and brother and Nicole's family (mom, grandma, cousins, aunts, uncles, nephews, etc) are also here watching. Charrissa and I have said this many times but we are always amazed and extremely touched by the generosity of the Nutmeg family. Thank you everyone.
Next game is 8am against Aileen Sormunnen. Should be a good one.

Olympic Trials start Saturday
The US Olympic curling trials start this Saturday Feb. 21 at 6pm ET. Team Lin will be playing in that first draw.
On the USCA site here there will be lots of ways to follow the action. There will be end by end scoring available and you can send fanmail to the team. I urge you to send a note to Charrissa and team as the competitors really appreciate all the support from home. The entire draw schedule is also available at the link posted above.
There will also be an audiocast set up so you can listen to the action through your computer. This is basically a radio broadcast of the action over the internet. Derek will be doing some of the broadcasts. You will need some type of audio player and Winamp seems to work best. More info will be available on the USCA site as the competition begins.

Nutmeg wins the Norfolk Mixed
Jeff and Sally Hannon with Ray and Stefanie Lawreck won the first event (Childs cup) at the Norfolk Mixed. They overpowered a Norfolk team in seven ends. The bonspiel was dedicated to Elisabeth Childs and a moving tribute was given before the start of the finals.
With only ten teams involved this was just the third game that Nutmeg played.
Saturday night featured a nice dinner and no curling so most teams retired to the bar and played Canadian dice or poker. There was also a silent auction with lots of wonderful goodies.

Nutmeg on the road
Two groups of Nutmeg curlers are on the road this weekend. Sean, Britt, Mike and David are at the Francis Dykes in Utica. Britt has a blog setup and will be reporting when he can. You can view his blog here.
Jeff and Sally are making the short drive up Route 8 to the friendly confines of the Norfolk curling club for the Mixed. They are playing with some friends from NJ. Sadly, this event coincides with multiple events at Nutmeg. Better scheduling is needed for next year as this is a great event for Nutmeg to attend as it is close, a good time and a great chance to meet new friends. Since Norfolk is in the remote region of Northwest CT there probably won't be any blogging till the event is over.

GNCC Mixed playdown final post
Okay, so here I am again. The game last night was close until Scott Edie took 3 in the eighth.
Scott, Tanya, Conor and Jennifer (all Potomac) are off to the Mixed Championship as well. Tanya plays with Charrissa on her Women's team who are headed to the Olympic trials.
For the last 7 years, either Derek or Scott have been the GNCC Mixed Champion. I think this is the sixth time that Derek and Charrissa have won the GNCC Mixed. The trophy returns to Nutmeg for another year so you can check it when it shows up, probably Monday or Tuesday.
After the game last night, there was champagne and much rejoicing. Today was a travel day for us as we took the train down to Potomac. A great way to travel if anyone wants to try it. Take Amtrak to the BWI airport and grab a car. So much better then driving home 4 hours on Sunday or waiting in the long lines at airport security.
Next up for Nutmeg on the road, Team Lin at the Trials. GO CHARRISSA!

Mixed Championship last game
Yes, Derek and Charrissa are playing the last game right now. This will determine the second team to go to Nationals. If Derek wins, there is a tiebreaker tomorrow between Edie and Lesuk. If Edie wins, they finish second and get the second spot to Nationals.
Might be an update after the game or tomorrow. The champagne is on ice for when the game is over to toast the champs and all the volunteers here.

Derek and Charrissa have a good day
Derek, Charrissa, Sean and Rachel enjoyed a perfect day, going 2-0 in their first two games. We missed the first game due to a late start. But they did a great job in putting away the Ardley team of Team Lesuk in 9 ends. The late game was another great start as they went up 4-0 after 4 ends. Then just defended that lead till the eighth when they took 3 and hand shakes followed.
They are playing great right now and if they keep it up this can all be over by tomorrow. A win by Lesuk in the morning would actually eliminate Team Edie from the competition. Then that would set up the Surka-Lesuk as the championship final.
We will be at the club in the morning for the game and will be blogging from there.

GNCC Senior Men's Championship
The Nutmeg team of George Bagley, Jim Meinhold, Trevor Davey and Jack Miller won the fourth event, the CROCS Scuttle, at the GNCC Senior Men's Championship. The event featured 22 teams playing for the championship. George and his team won their first game and then lost the second game to the eventual champions from Philadelphia. They then went on to beat TCC and Utica to claim the fourth event prize.
Nutmeg did a great job hosting this event with special thanks to Chuck Owens and Bill Brautigam as co-chairs and Bobbie Stoll for all the hard work on the ice.
For many of the teams this was their first visit to Nutmeg and they all enjoyed the experience.
