Roll the Die.
1 – The stone picks and does not make it over the hog line.
You laugh and accept fate in a dignified manner!
or
You slipped during delivery and landed flat on your belly, the rock draws the button . . . on the next sheet. Everyone in the club is laughing!
Rock is out of play!
2 – You completely missed; this is one of your most embarrassing moments.
Your delivery looked great except - a crappy release equals a CRAPPY SLIDE!
Your opponent gets to place your rock wherever he or she wants in relation to the shot you called. (Plans A, B or C)
3 – Missed the broom, too heavy, too light, sweeping error.
You are not concentrating on the game at all!
Your teammates wish you had stayed home, they start to avoid you . . . perhaps you smell funny?
You get Plan C
4 – Momentary lapse in concentration, you should have watched and timed the opponents last rock.
or
Your stomach growls during delivery, you did not eat properly and it is affecting your game.
You get Plan B
5 – Almost perfect, those watching think they might like to curl with you.
You choose the minor error to Plan A and placement of your rock.
6 – Geezz you look good to that person who likes you!
Everyone behind the glass is clapping and cheering . . . well you really cannot hear them . . . you just see a bunch of people jumping up and down, clapping and pretending to yell . . . they look pretty silly!
Perfect execution of your shot (Plan A).
