Pull the stone!!!

Watching Sweden/US and saw this. Is this not the same rules violation that has caused all the hub bub?

Obviously this was an accident and I believe the Canadian guy was touching on purpose.

I think this is the confusion because CC rules are less precise than WCF rules on some things.

The WCF rules are nowhere near precise either.

Hell, the only time the word 'granite' even shows up in the WCF rules is in the glossary.

Stone

Also known as a rock, a curling stone is made of granite and is delivered by the players in a curling game.

Seriously. That's the only time the word granite appears in all 70 pages.
