The failure of the tablet computer used to calculate the distance measured by the laser device resulted in Laures, Morris, coach Jeff Stoughton and team leader Paul Webster questioning the validity of the results.

It should not be a question of the future.
"As far as WCF is concerned, there is no fault with the laser and it is not actually a problem," mcalist said . ".
"We believe they created the correct reading, which is not a problem for us.
We believe that the calculations carried out so far are correct.
"There is certainly no problem with the laser device, just a problem --
Technical problems with tablets have been corrected.
"Having a hammer at the first finish line is a major advantage for the curling team, and the last stone draw before the game has become an integral part of the sport.
Curlers are concerned that none of the results of the tournament that started on Thursday worked.
"They have changed the process, and with this new process you almost need a master's degree in calculus to calculate some of these totals," Morris said . ".
"It's prone to more errors.
They try to make it so precise, but at the same time it's complicated, and sometimes you get such a mistake.
"After Morris threw his psychedelic medicine, the equipment glitch was found, so officials stopped all the players on the sheets from shooting.
The second shooter has to wait more than 5 minutes, and they all have poor shots.

For us, this is our first game against Norway, and for them, the first time.
Stoughton said he was quite satisfied with the explanation of WCF because the measurement dispute was-off.
"They will go back and start over.
"Check it out because they 've saved all the numbers and they'll redo the calculations," Stoughton said . ".
"We want to make sure they're right, but we still don't think they're right.
Morris is not a fan of the current measurement system and he advised them to use the tape measure.
"It's one thing if it's on a baseball field in its hometown, but when it's at the Olympics, the country's medal chances are just around the corner, he says: "You don't want to see such a mistake happen. ".
"We are confident that they will make the right decision for the fairness of all the teams.
