I think our team played 35 games this year and we had the clockwise turn every single practice. If we won the coin flip we took whatever practice would give us that turn. It just kept us locked in. There were several variations of the LSD. Some were everyone gets one rock up, one rock back, and then the one LSD. Some were everyone gets two up, two back, one LSD. The weirdest was one person got one up, one back, and then the LSD. No one else got to throw a rock in practice. Provincials was 10 minutes of unlimited rocks, and then two LSDs, with the combined score being used. I think we were 24-5 in getting hammer in the first end. Some were predetermined with playoff seeding. I never lost one all year.

I wish they would show this, as the first part of the game or broadcast.
