Norway end on top of the standings thanks to their earlier defeat over Scotland, but they were pushed hard in a thriller against third place Canada that had only one blanked end. The Canadians finish above Sweden for the same reason as the 10-1 wins.

Fifth place France lead the also-rans with victory over the Amercians, coming back to win in the tenth, and the Korean men match their female  counterparts and end the tournament without a win, dropping their final game to the Swiss. The other match saw the Czech Republic score four in the third end and just hold off the challenge of Denmark.

The four playoff teams are confirmed but the final order will be determined after the last draw. For now the penultimate draw of the round-robin stage brings no surprises with Scotland easily beating out the USA, and Norway doing likewise to the guaranteed eleventh-placed rink China.

Elsewhere, the inconsistent Germany finish off their tournament with a win over the Czech Republic, and Sweden lock out France for the fourth playoff place thanks to their win over the Swiss that included a run of four ends with a point to the Swedes.

Scotland were staring at a second successive defeat trailing France 5-3 after eight ends, but two great ends to finish off the match turned it all around. Canada has now won three games in a row after their defeat to the Scots. Here they started strongly with four points on the board before China could score themselves.

Sweden are alone in fourth place thanks to the French defeat and the Swedes own result against Korea. The rink without a win all tournament scored three in an end for the second time in the competition, but they were beaten by two points in both the eighth and ninth ends. The other match saw Germany throw away a 3-2 lead in the ninth, and the result in the tenth when they had the hammer versus Denmark.

Three teams reach double digits in the final draw of the penultimate day in theround robin stage. Scotland suffer their first loss at the hands of fellow one-loss rink Norway. The Scots led 6-4 heading into the eighth end but Norway scored three points in two of the final three ends.

Sweden keep in touch with France for that fourth place by thumping the Czech Republic with ten points in just six ends. Germany and the USA claim victories over the Swiss and Chinese, and both are two games back of the six-win sides.

France step up into the top four with a convincing performance against the inconsistent German rink. The French scored seven of their points in the opening half of their game and limited their opponents to just a single a point throughout the remainder. Sweden lose that fourth place after they failed to keep up with their opponents and were defeated by Canada.

China takes a second win in the tournament against the Koreans, and the Scots remain unbeaten with a thrashing of their own handed down to Denmark.

The Danes are hammered by Norway who keep up their chase on Scotland, and Canada is right behind them after a four point seventh end saw them beat the Czech Republic. France wins to keep the pressure on Sweden in fourth, and the American rink wins a closer game then their 5-1 lead in the fifth would have had them believe.

Scotland passed their biggest test to date by giving Canada their second defeat of the competition. A flurry of scoring from the third through the sixth end were part of a eight end back and forth rally with the Scots claiming victory on the extra end.

Sweden were able to capitalise on the Canadian defeat by beating out Denmark with four stolen points before the handshake was offered. France are right behind as they also have an easy win, this time over China, and the Germans make things more miserable for Korea.

Norway's comeback from defeat continued into a remarkable win over the Americans as they scored eight points across the first five ends of the match. Canada looks to put their lone defeat behind them, also scoring eight points, but were pushed hard by France for over half the match.

Switzerland needed a tenth end point despite leading with the hammer in the ninth against the Czech Republic, and Denmark became the latest team to beat the winless Koreans.
