Homan was scheduled to play Japan’s Sayaka Yoshimura (1-4) in the evening session. Round-robin play continues through Thursday afternoon and the medal games are set for the weekend.
It was the first draw in women’s play since World Curling reversed course on its umpire setup. Homan had a rock pulled in a loss to Switzerland on Saturday when an umpire monitoring the hog line called her for double-touching the stone.
The sport’s governing body said Sunday night that umpires would return to their regular setup of monitoring the delivery area only when requested by the opposing team.
