   Exploring the Ice Intel App with Dale Neufeld of Curling by the Numbers

   This week Dale Neufeld, who writes the Curling by the Numbers Substack, joins the show to talk about his new app Ice Intel. In the app you can track linescores, keep a rock book, and even calculate player shooting percentages. You can also use the split times to keep track of rocks, which includes predictive AI that will give an estimated weight call based on the split times, which adjusts to the specific ice conditions during your game. The app is current available on the Apple App Store. For Android users, you can reach out to Dale if you want to test the app before it is available publicly.
