Curling basic rules
The game is played on a playing field 45.72 meters long and up to 5 meters wide. There are two teams of four players who compete against each other on the course. It is important that you work well with your teammates – after all, it is a precision game. There may be team contributions to the roll that affect the outcomes of the game.
Each team has eight round granite stones at its disposal that differ in color from the other team. Alternately, a player from one of the teams will play. During the throw, great care must be taken to ensure that the stones slide. If a stone tips over or touches the side or back lines of the playing field, the throw does not count. It is also important to release the stone at the right time. The stone must land beyond a point on the playing field (hog-line) and end in front of the back line (backline). The thrown stones may remain on the playing field, they can be bounced off by other players. At the end of the game when each player has thrown two stones the score is determined based on the closest stones to the central goal.
