The event, which formally celebrated 50 years of World Men's Curling (1959-2009) plus the 225th anniversary of the host province of New Brunswick, kicked off with a three-hour extravaganza combining the Opening Ceremonies and Opening Banquet, an unprecedented start to the World Men's Curling Championship.http://www.worldcurling.org/content/view/398/90/ WCF Annual General Assembly 2008 World Curling Federation 2008-06-20 https://web.archive.org/web/20080602072839/http://www.worldcurling.org/content/view/398/90/ 2 June 2008 dead In the final end of the Canada–Scotland final, Canada skip Kevin Martin opted to throw away his first stone instead of attempting to make a shot, saying "If I don't shoot, what does (Scottish skip David Murdoch) do?" The way the rock angles were set up meant that a slight miss could help Scotland, so he figured throwing it away would be his best option. The team had called two timeouts and spent several minutes discussing possible shots before Martin's throw away. Murdoch then makes his last shot, a quiet weight hit that rolled infront of a Canadian stone to sit one. This forced Martin into a difficult double takeout, which he missed, handing Scotland the World Championship.Cullen John Curling Rocks: Chronicles of the Roaring Game 2025 Douglas & McIntyre Madeira Park, BC 9781771624558 142–147 Qualification Two teams from the Americas region (including Canada as host), two Pacific region teams (via the 2008 Pacific Curling Championships) and eight teams from the European region (via the 2008 European Curling Championships). For the first time ever, a third country from the Americas expressed intent to participate in the qualification process, necessitating a qualifying tournament between the United States and Brazil held between January 30 and February 1, 2009. Canada, as defending champions and hosts do not have to qualify, as they automatically get to participate.http://www.worldcurling.org/content/view/407/90/ 2008-08-13 2008-08-25 Brazil challenges USA for Worlds qualification (Host country and defending champion) (Americas) (Pacific champion) (Pacific runner-up) Top seven finishers from the 2008 European Curling Championships (winner of World Challenge series vs. ) Teams Saville Sports Centre, Edmonton Skip: Kevin Martin Third: John Morris Second: Marc Kennedy Lead: Ben Hebert Alternate: Terry MeekHarbin CC, Harbin Fourth: Liu Rui Skip: Wang Fengchun* Second: Xu Xiaoming Lead: Zang Jialiang Alternate: Chen Lu-AnCK Brno, Brno Skip: Jiří Snítil Third: Martin Snítil Second: Jindřich Kitzberger Lead: Karel Uher Alternate: Miloš HoferkaHvidovre CC, Hvidovre Fourth: Johnny Frederiksen Skip: Ulrik Schmidt* Second: Bo Jensen Lead: Lars Vilandt Alternate: Mikkel PoulsonOulunkylän Curling, Helsinki Skip: Kalle Kiiskinen Third: Teemu Salo Second: Jani Sullanmaa Lead: Jari Rouvinen Alternate: Juha Pekaristo Chamonix CC, Chamonix Skip: Thomas Dufour Third: Tony Angiboust Second: Jan Ducroz Lead: Richard Ducroz Alternate: Raphael Mathieu CC Füssen, Füssen Skip: Andy Kapp Third: Andreas Lang Second: Holger Höhne Lead: Andreas Kempf Alternate: Daniel HerbergKaruizawa CC, Karuizawa Skip: Yusuke Morozumi Third: Tsuyoshi Yamaguchi Second: Tetsuro Shimizu Lead: Kosuke Morozumi Alternate: Keita SatohSnarøen CK, Bærum Skip: Thomas Ulsrud Third: Torger Nergård Second: Christoffer Svae Lead: Håvard Vad Petersson Alternate: Thomas LøvoldLockerbie Curling Club, Lockerbie Skip: David Murdoch Third: Ewan MacDonald Second: Peter Smith Lead: Euan Byers Alternate: Graeme ConnalCC St. Galler Bär, St. Gallen Skip: Ralph Stöckli Third: Jan Hauser Second: Markus Eggler Lead: Simon Strübin Alternate: Toni MüllerDuluth Curling Club, Duluth Skip: John Shuster Third: Jason Smith Second: Jeff Isaacson Lead: John Benton Alternate: Chris Plys * Throws third stones Round-robin standings Final round-robin standings KeyTeams to playoffsTeams to tiebreaker CountrySkipWLPFPAEnds WonEnds LostBlank EndsStolen EndsShot Pct.
