It’s been a long time since I attended a live curling event, even though I’m an avid watcher. It’s harder to follow any single game in the stands, but there is always something going on or a team throwing skip stones. It’s a bit overstimulating actually because there is no natural “intermission” when the 5th end breaks are all staggered.
But in both draws we attended, the televised games were not the best games. There were some great close games yesterday including Northern Ontario vs Saskatchewan and Yukon vs BC.
If you get the chance, I highly recommend you take in at least one draw this week.

It’s a fun time and you get a good sense of how good they actually are but yeah it can be tough to watch. You have to sort of decide to just pick a match you want to play close attention to and cast an eye to others when possible, or try to keep an eye on them all but like you said it can be difficult to follow them all.
