SOME STUFF ON CURLING.......


Curling is a game played on ice with granite stones;
in this picture, four curling sheets are shown


The playing area in curling is shown here. Rocks must land between the hog line
(bottom of photo) and the back line (behind the rings) and between the boards or
out lines (on the sides)

EQUIPMENTS........


Curling shoes:
The slider shoe (center), with its thin Teflon surface, is
worn during delivery to slide on the ice; a slip-on gripper (left) is worn
over the slider at other times; the other shoe (right) has a rough surface
to give traction on the ice


The curling stone or rock :
is made out of granite


The curling broom :
is used to sweep the ice surface in front of the rock


This is an example of a typical curling score-board used at clubs, which
use a different method of scoring than the ones used on television

WHAT IS CURLING??

Curling is a precision team sport similar to bowls or bocce, played on a rectangular sheet of prepared ice by two teams of four players each, using heavy polished granite stones which they slide down the ice towards a target area called the house. Points are scored for the number of stones that a team has closer to the center of the target than the closest of the other team's stones. The level of precision and complex nature of the strategic thinking required to win has led curling to be referred to as "chess on ice."
