Here are the standings as of events beginning before midnight EST yesterday.

Please note: some of you may have seen a reduction in score.  Here\’s why.  A change has been made in the way that we\’re scoring hockey and curling.  On previous days, it was scored erroneously.  I had awarded two points for each team that won a game or match.  This was based on a misunderstanding about the way the tournaments work.  There are a number of different games or matches in each round.

Here is the correct scoring system for curling:

A team advances from the Round Robin round to the Playoff Round- 2 points
A team advances from the Playoff Round to the Semifinals- 2 points
A team advances from the Semifinals to the Finals- 2 points
Finals- points for medals

Here is the correct scoring system for hockey:

A team advances from the Preliminary Round to the Qualification Round- 2 points
A team advances from the Qualification Round to the Quarterfinals- 2 points
A team advances from the Quarterfinals to the Semifinals- 2 points
A team advances from the Semifinals to the Finals- 2 points
Finals- points for medals

This is more analogous to a skier/skater/luger earning points for each advancement.  If you have questions or issues, please contact me or comment below and I will be happy to address them!  Unless it involves a lot of math.
