one game. If the "B" side team (the
one with one loss) wins then the
two teams are tied with one loss
each and an additional game is
required to determine the winner.
Skip Dave Eadie needed to draw
to the eight foot circle to win the
first game , but he came up short
forking the extra game. Again the
game :was decided on Eadie's last
