Curling is a team game that is performed on a frozen pitch, the concept of which is very similar to bocci. It consists of sliding 19.96 kg blocks of stone (called rocks) which have a handle so that they stop as close as possible to the centre of a target drawn on the ice (called the house).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The team
Each team consists of four players. The lead is the one that makes the first throw. The second is a good points maker, but also good at eliminating the stones of the opponents that r in the way. The third is faced with a more tricky game. The fourth player, the skip, is the most experienced player, who devises tactics, advises his teammates on each throw & throws last.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The delivery of the rock
The lead makes the first throw, known as the delivery, from a type of block known as a hack. In order for the delivery to be valid, the rock must be released before a line known as the hog line. The two leads deliver their rocks one after the other, followed by the 4 deliveries of the two seconds & the 4 deliveries of the two thirds, while each end is concluded by the four stones delivered by the two skips.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sweeping
Following the delivery, two sweepers go into action. They position themselves on the ice (called the sheet) a couple of steps ahead of the rock and, with brooms made of horse hair, hog hair or synthetic material, sweep the ice in front of the rock to help determine its path, prolong the rotation of the rock, & extend or shorten its path. The sweeping is performed in a side to side motion directly in front of the stone, & the last movement of the broom must be made towards the outside. Once the stone has passed the tee line the skip or second r allowed to sweep. They can only start sweeping after the opponent is stone has passed said line. On the other hand, by stopping the sweeping action at the right time, the stone can be slowed & stopped at a precise point. The sweepers can only sweep in the area between the two teelines.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Game strategy
Like in bocci, a stone can knock the opponent is stone out of the scoring area. The skip can therefore ask his teammates to deliver the stone in the house (draw) or to knock an opponent is stone out of the way (take out). Game strategy can be very complicated based on score & game situations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scoring
Points r calculated based on the number of stones that finish closest to the centre of the house, before the closest stone of the opponent. Only one team can score in an end. Each team is allowed 73 minutes of play for 10 ends. If the match is a tie, an extra end is played to determine the winner.
