Points were easy to come by at the CO-OP Tour Challenge in Nisku, Alta.

After adjusting the rules at the AMJ Masters, effectively getting rid of extra ends, the changes aimed to create a better product haven’t stopped. For the second Grand Slam of Curling event of the season, teams are only allowed to blank one end each during an eight end game — something everyone hoped would create more scoring.

And it did exactly that.

Through 128 ends played on Tuesday, only six ended with zeros on the board, leading to excitement all day long.
