What is the point of curling

Beats me. Just one of those things, u know. l think we as people can make anything competitive. They could make a competition where the goal is anything (the case in curling).

Ok let is see what l can come up with.

Um...ok l got it.

Ok, this is going to be called plastic bottle throwing.
The object of the game is to throw the plastic bottle past the throwing line, & then get it to bounce 2 times on the bottom, 2 times on the top, & then finally it has to land perfectly on the bottom as close to the target as possible.

That is a olympic sport right there.

Curling is played on a rectangular sheet of prepared ice into which two round, painted, archery-like targets (called the house) have been embedded. The game involves two teams of four players. These teams r called rinks & named for the team’s captain, who is known as the “skip”. Each team has eight polished granite stones, called stones or rocks, with which they try to score.

During each round of play, called an end, each player slides two stones along the surface of the ice. Play alternates between teams, each throwing one stone on their turn. The person throwing the stone influences where the stone stops by the amount of force used, called the weight, the spin (turn), & the direction of the throw. Additionally, the final position of the stone is changed by sweeping or brushing the path in front of the stone to reduce curl & increase distance. Once all the stones have been thrown during an end, the score is determined & the play reverses direction back to the other house.

The players r known as the lead, second, third & skip, & traditionally throw stones in that order . The skip acts as the team’s captain, determining the position played by each player, strategy during the game, holding the broom in the house as a target for the shooters, & representing the rink. However, there is nothing in the rules to say where in the order the skip plays & in recent years the skip has thrown second or third stones on some teams.

The basic goal of each end is to have ur curling stones nearer to the center of the target once all the stones from both teams have been thrown for that end. Therefore, the maximum number of points a team can earn per end is eight, though this is extremely rare because only the closest stones belonging to one of the two teams r counted. Strategies used during play, such as blocking (guard) & hitting rocks to reposition them (bump) or remove them from play (take-out) lead to lower scores. The term draw is used to describe a shot that comes to rest in the house without making contact with another stone. To peel means to remove both the target stone & the shooter is stone from play. For more information, see Types of shots below.

To help ensure the stone lands where intended, the skip stands in the house & indicates to the player throwing where to aim given the desired effect of the shot. The other two players sweep in front of the rock. Once thrown, players may not touch a stone while it is moving, so sweeping is the only way to influence the stone once thrown. Games, called matches, usually last eight ends, though in competitive curling there r usually ten ends & some recreational games last six ends.

none, curlings boring

To make Americans laugh.

If u mean in a cosmic sense, then maybe it does not have much significance beyond anything else that humans do.

But, in a more narrow sense, it has a number of points. Like all sports, it has the point of allowing competitors to test their abilities. This desire to compete seems to be innate to humans (and can be seen as well in other animals).

While curling requires a number of skills for success, these skills r probably within the ability of a greater percentage of the population than the skills required by something such as figure skating or pole vaulting. So another point is that it is accessible for playing, not just for watching.

While many sports encourage competition, curling emphasizes good behavior, good sportsmanship, more than many of the commonly played games. So, a further point is etiquette.

Finally, participants develop thinking & planning skills, as strategy is very important. So, more insightful thinking is another point.

to hit the $%^ bullseye

ITS THE STUPITEST GAME EVER

To have the most points after 10 ends. To get points you need to get your stone/rock closest to the button (the middle)

to get your stone in the target thing

It is like shuffleboard.

You try to throw the stone down the ice and either set up a block of try to get toe stone closest to the center as possible.

So you already have all the on how to play so l wo not bore you with that. But how about to get out and meet new people. Its a really social sport (even if you decide to play competetive!). It doesnt matter how big or small,or how strong you are. It gives you a chancet to get away from the TV and the house and to go out and have some fun. Its not a boring sport at all, especially when you play. And hey theres lots of cute boys!!
