When one player is throwing, the sweepers use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes for the rock being thrown to get from the tee line (the line that runs across the middle of the house) to the hog line (the thick one that comes right after they let go of the rock). The length of time corresponds to how fast the rock is traveling, and that helps the sweepers judge if they will need to sweep to make the rock go farther, or not. For example, in the first few minutes of the game, the sweepers may establish that the proper time for a good shot to the button is 2.9 sec. If on a certain shot they get a time of 3.1 sec, that means the rock is traveling slower, and they know right away they're going to have to sweep.
