Watched some of the games, yes it will take a while to get use to the new teams especially on the Mens side with Mcewen, Carruthers, Dunstone, Epping squads all changed up. The most interesting on the women's side is the Miskew, Homan and Fleury chemistry.
One thing they did different here was no extra end. If it was tied after 10, it was a draw to the button to determine the winner. However each skip had to throw a different turn, and the team who would have had hammer for the extra end gets to decide first what turn their team is throwing. The was a women's 1/4 final decided this way and Rachel Homan had to draw the button with an in turn forcing her to use the side of the sheet which hadn't seen any action for 1/2 hour or so. The rock didn't make the house and they were not too happy about the rule...
