Skauge, who was skipping at a Tim Hortons Brier for the first time, was one of five teams in the 18-team event that were not given feature game TV treatment by rightsholder TSN.
"We have lots of fans and friends back home that were watching," Skauge said. "It would have been real nice if they could have seen us play a game down here. But there's only so many spots. Every draw there were multiple games where there was something on the line.
"It's one of those ones that's real tough. I don't think that you can say, 'This is the (TV) schedule for the week.' You have to follow the storyline of what's going on."
