Host Kevin Palmer is joined again by Ken Pomeroy, Gerry Geurts and Matt Hall. Ken updates the gang on team rankings and his latest development, Task Manager. The crew looks at the no-tick rule, discusses whether it has adjusted teams' tactics approaching the final end, and examines the results. Gerry explains an approach to optimum strategy for the modern game and the panel considers if it leads to boring play. There are further thoughts on the Pan Continental Championships, the qualification process for major events, and concerns if the Grand Slams can meet the quota for Canadian content in the future.
