Curling
Curling is a
sport in which players slide stones on a sheet of ice towards a target area which is segmented into four
concentric circles. It is related to
bowls,
boules and
shuffleboard. Two teams, each with four players, take turns sliding heavy, polished
granite stones, also called
rocks, across the ice
curling sheet towards the
house, a circular target marked on the ice. Each team has eight stones. The purpose is to accumulate the highest score for a
game; points are scored for the stones resting closest to the centre of the house at the conclusion of each
end, which is completed when both teams have thrown all of their stones. A game usually consists of eight or ten ends.
