How does the scoring system in Curling work

Wait is that the one where they toss the googly at the whicket or something of that mannor.

''Each game consists of 10 ends. One end is completed when each team has delivered eight stones each.

''Only one team scores points per end. A stone can score only if it is in, or touches, the house. One point is scored for each rock closer to the center than any of the other team is stones.

''The team with the most points after 10 ends is the winner. If the score is tied after the 10th end, another end is played.''

Curling is a team sport, with a team, or rink, made up of four players headed by a ''skip.'' The skip, usually the fourth person to play, directs team members as to the kind of shot wanted, the path it should take, the amount of spin & force that should go into it, & so on.

Each player delivers two stones, alternately with an opponent. The delivery is similar to that used in bowling; the ''sweeping score'' represents the foul line. A player is assisted by teammates, who use their brooms to sweep ice dust, snow, & moisture from in front of the delivered stone, as it moves, to help guide it.

The basic purpose is to get a stone as close to the tee as possible. However, many types of strategic shots r also used, to knock an opponent is stone out of position, to guard a teammate is scoring stone, or to knock a teammate is stone into better position.

When all 16 stones have been thrown, an ''end'' has been completed. Only one team can score on each end: the team that has a stone lying nearest to the tee. The team gets 1 point for each stone that is nearer to the tee than any of the opposition is stones. In order to count, a stone must be at least partly within the house.

Play then continues from the other end. A game is usually made up of 10 complete ends; sometimes, however, the first team to get 21 points is the winner.

After each end, the team with the stone closest to the tee, the center of the house, wins that round. The winning team is awarded a point for each stone between the tee & the opposing team is nearest stone. The maximum score in an end is eight points. The team with the highest total score after 10 ends wins the match. (a score of 80, which u will probably never see, would mean that the winning team got eight stones closer to the tee than any of their opponent is stones in all ten ends!!)
