A group of curlers from Campbell River are sitting by the phone waiting to see if they've played their way into the Guinness Book of World Records.
Ten curlers from the Campbell River Curling Club unofficially played the longest game, starting last Thursday at 8 a.m. and finishing Saturday night at 9: 45. The curlers - Cody Hall, Andrew Veldhuis, Trevor McClung, Paul Mansueto, Rhys Mansueto, Ed Mullen, Mike Fowler, Cliff Carr-Hilton and John LaPointe - were required to curl one continuous game, four per side with two players rotating in.
Each player got a two-hour break every eight hours but they were not permitted to leave the designated area. There was one five-minute comfort break for every hour curled.
The old record belonged to curlers from the Dumfries Curling Club in Scotland with a game lasting 61 hours 39 minutes and 33 seconds.
The people at Guinness are verifying the game.
