About Curling
Curling is like a game of Bowling on Ice. Two teams of four wearing sponges on their feet slide stones towards a target (House) at the other end. Players use Brooms to guide the stone towards the house. Each team has four stones, and the team with the nearest stones scores in an end, up to a maximum of four per end. In total eight ends are played in a match, with the team gaining the highest number of scores over the eight ends the winner. Teams are named after the Skip (Captain).
