All could change in the last end with Target Practice. Each player played their normal two shots. A stone coming to rest in the 8 foot circle scored 1 point, 6 foot circle 2 points, 4 foot circle 3 points and in the button the scored 5 points.
Scott's team failed to improve in the final discipline and finished third. Basil's team did better but were unable to close the gap and finished runner-up.
