This was especially true of the final game where Team Kelly faced Team Schweitzer (Claude Schweitzer, Barry Foulds, Volker Beba). At the end of the regular game both teams were tied 4-4 after six ends, and a two-player last stone draw was played to decide the winner.

In the end, team Kelly were the more precise team, with the cumulative distance of both stones from the centre being less than 20 centimeters.

Third place went to Team Benoy (Alex Benoy, Phillipe Giltaire, Matt Goerens).
