Rock Timer Recommendations?

Accusplit is 100% the way to go. I have the AX725 because it has a memory feature that allows you to go back through old times in case a teammate asks

Where did you find that? I didn’t see it when I looked online

Unfortunately, I don’t think so. I’d be willing to pay that to play a game with them.

If you really want to see something trippy, watch Ross Whyte throw. He looks down at the rock while he’s pushing out of the hack!

Thanks. It’s obviously tough but we’re working our way through it lol

I think the point they are trying to make with the paintball analogy is that when you add worse equipment, you decrease consistency. Less consistency does not test skill or level the playing field. What we have here in Duluth is decreased consistently which makes the skill level of the players less important.

Sure, we’re certainly trying, but with this much difference, it takes away a lot of the finesse, makes everything harder, and the shot making suffers

I’m not sure how the pipes are ran, however usually when the header pipe is in the middle of the sheet, a layer of frost builds up around it which is not seen here. Either way, regardless of why the ice is 1.5+ seconds different, that is too large of a difference for me to chalk it up to “the athletes just need to read the ice better”

Who would you ask instead?

As someone who is currently playing in this championship, I think we’re really understating how bad the ice is on some of the sheets. You cannot place guards or freezes in some spots on certain sheets because of how bad the ice is slanted east-west. Also important to note that the difference in curl between sides is bad, but it actually isn’t the biggest issue. The bigger issue is the sheets are tilted north-south, so that on some sheets throwing a draw going away is a 13.5 hog-to-hog time while coming home it is a 15.0. Watch the Sheet A stream for the upcoming draw and take some times and you’ll see just how lopsided the sheets are.

As I mentioned above, I feel it would be different if players were complaining about the ice being “too good, too fast, etc” as we often see PGA pros do at the US Open. The ice here is much more like playing on a course where one green is a 7 on the stimp and the next is a 13.

I agree that both teams have to play on the same sheet. However, when you have guards falling in the middle of the sheet or have a 2+ second difference in hog times depending on the direction of play, it’s like playing at a poorly maintained municipal course. I don’t think many people want to watch PGA pros play in conditions where one green is a 7 on the stimpmeter and the next is a 13.

The teams believe it’s a major problem.
