Jeff you raise a good point, but if you look at this years game, its basicly tic tac toe. And as a child i never played tick tac toe on a scale like we are playing it, so surely FIRST understands how to scale things up and down and should be able to get around the issues of the long playing field.

Edit:
This is also a great game for 3 on 3. Because you have 1 slider and 2 sweepers! you could even have simultanious curling on 2 sides of the field at once, trying to position their rocks or stones or whatever they are called in a better place the the oppositions, and trying to bump the other persons out of good position!
