Best 8 go straight to quarters, semis and then the finals.

Oh OK thanks Steve, not my fav format. I prefer the one where they brought the points forward from previous matches to the super 8's or what ever it was called. A little confusing, but it made for some fun matches. I seem to remember a tie having quite an impact on that format once.

What's with the seedings, am I missing something or do they not make sense at all.

And England are crap!
But when these seeds were devised, England were number one!
The two groups are pretty even. And what the hell, the top eight get through anyway.

Oh didn't know that. Need to follow it a bit more closely, but shuffle board just takes up so much of my time these days.

At least I'm the best at shuffle board in my family.

Ha, ha if only we were so lucky to be aboard a ship playing shuffle board. I'm certain you and I would get along like a house on fire.

I think they push things along on a deck of a ship. Never actually played it because I always thought it would be embarrassing if someone caught me in a photo.

Yes, and then we'd be distracted by a mystery to solve.
