Curling

For this term we decided to try something new and founded a german-swiss-australian-swedish curling team. Every Sunday we compete now against other teams within the curling club. None of us played this sport before and we noticed that the rules are easier than expected.

Lead by the skipper you try to bring the token in the desired position by handling power, direction and spin. (left) Noticing the token is too slow you can try to keep the speed by brushing the ice in front of it. (right)
The goal is having the own tokens closer in the house than the opponent team.

left:our team fltr: Urs, Philip, William and me hoping that the tooken stops soon
right: every millimeter counts, Phil and Urs gave everything

And the best rule is applied after the game: The winner pays the beer for the looser.
It was a great evening and we even had a small fanblock (thanks to Daniela and Martin) . I'm looking forward to the next games.
