2012 Continental Cup of Curling
The 2012 World Financial Group Continental Cup of Curling was held from Thursday, January 12 to Sunday, January 15 at the Langley Events Centre in Langley, British Columbia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Curling's elite set to compete in Langley )〕 Just like in the previous year's event, the Continental Cup featured team events, mixed doubles events, singles competitions, and skins competitions, and the brunt of the points were won in the skins competitions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2012 World Financial Group Continental Cup Disciplines )〕 TSN broadcast the event, as it has in previous years.〔
Team World aimed to level the field after Team North America won the previous cup, which brought the overall total to 4–3 in favour of North America, and was successful, tying the overall total at 4–4. Team World's win ensured that no defending champion to date would successfully defend its title from the previous Cup, continuing a pattern that has occurred since the inception of the event. In their win, Team World also won the most points that they have won in this event, topping their score of 229 points won in 2006.
==Event summary==
Team World and Team North America started off the event relatively close in points. On Thursday, both teams tied their team draws〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fit to be tied: 9-9 after Draw 1 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Draw 3: More saw-offs as World clings to six-point margin )〕 and Team World took a small lead after the first mixed doubles draw.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.curling.ca/2012/01/12/draw-2-world-edges-ahead-with-splits/ )〕 The second day, Friday, also resulted in tied draws in the team games,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Another split of points at WFG Continental Cup )〕 but Team World won three close mixed doubles games〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=World team explodes for doubles sweep )〕 to take a larger lead heading into Day 3.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Men’s split leaves Team World calling Continental Cup tune )〕 Saturday saw the singles competition, where Team World swept the women's competition and won the aggregate bonus,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Relentless the word for Team World at Continental Cup )〕 and two very close skins draws, which Team North America used to make up their deficit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Team World adds eight points to Continental Cup lead )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Team World closer to Continental Cup victory )〕 In the Skins B games, a series of carryovers had resulted in the games' final skins worth a combined total of 52 points. Team North America had the opportunity to take their first lead in the event, but only managed to win one of the three final skins, giving Team World a big advantage.〔 Team North America was able to prevent Team World from winning the Cup on Saturday, but Team World entered Sunday needing only 31 points to win the Cup.
In the Women's Skins C game, Stefanie Lawton and her team were able to prevent Wang Bingyu from winning the Cup in their skins game by winning the first five ends, but Wang and her team came back to pick up the last three skins and thirty points, placing Team World on the brink of victory at 200 points, one point short of the 201 point total needed to win the Cup.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Continental Cup — down to the last point )〕 The pressure shifted to Jeff Stoughton to keep the North Americans' hopes of a comeback alive. Team World's position at 200 points meant that it was possible for Team North America to tie the event, if Stoughton won all of the skins in his game versus Thomas Ulsrud, a feat that Anette Norberg accomplished in 2003 against Sherry Middaugh. In the event that the Continental Cup ended in a tie, the rules stipulated that the defending champion, North America, would retain the cup, similar to that in the rules of the Ryder Cup in golf.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=World Financial Group Continental Cup 2012 - Could end in tie )〕 If there was a tie, the purses would have been split equally among all players.〔 The Men's Skins C game saw Ulsrud and his team capitalize on a mistake by Stoughton to secure a skin of five points and win the eighth edition of the Continental Cup.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Team World wraps up fourth Continental Cup title )〕 The winning team, Team World, received a purse of CAD$52,000, CAD$2,000 per player, and the losing team received a purse of CAD$26,000, CAD$1,000 per player. The winning team of the last men's skin game (the Men's Skins C game), Team World, received a bonus of CAD$13,000.〔
