Curling

Well actually it is impossible. The only possible way you could even say they were cheating is if they hit the other teams rock. Other than that they really can't cheat.

Technically any infraction of the 1 000 000 000 rules (there obviously aren't that many, but curling has more rules than any other sport I've ever played) is considered cheating. However, because of the nature of the game, cheating that would cause a great improvement for you will be quite obvious. Yet, most forms of cheating (the ones that go unnoticed) are petty little things that do not really help you in the game (ex. slight brooming of a rock, releasing the rock slightly over the hog line,etc.). At the end of the day there really is no use cheating in the game of curling, it doesn't really help you out anyways. Besides the game is supposed to be about fun, honesty, sportsmanship and fair play - so by cheating you're really defeating the purpose of the whole game.

A "corner guard" is a rock placed in front of the house, but a few feet off to one side or the other of the center line. Corner guards are a strategic move used by the team with the hammer when they are behind in the game, to try to "split the house," which means having a rock in scoring position on each side of the house, so that they both can't be taken out in one shot, and the middle of the house is kept clear to get a point if all else fails.

Both involve opposing players or teams sliding round objects down a long narrow playing surface towards a target, and trying to knock the other team's objects away from the target. Besides that, they aren't too similar. Calling curling "shuffleboard on ice "doesn't begin to properly explain the game, but journalists love to use the comparison.

Britain triumphed in the 2002 Winter Olympics primarily through its curling team, which achieved a historic victory by winning the gold medal in the men's event. This success was marked by their strategic gameplay and teamwork, culminating in a thrilling final match against Norway. Curling itself is a precision sport where players slide stones on a sheet of ice towards a target area, with teams taking turns to deliver stones while teammates use brooms to influence their trajectory. The sport requires a unique combination of skill, strategy, and teamwork, making it a fascinating event during the Winter Games.

A typical end in curling lasts about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the number of stones played and the pace of the game. Each team has a limited amount of time to deliver their stones, and strategic discussions can extend the duration. Overall, the pace can vary based on the skill level of the teams and the conditions of the ice.

yes it all about speed. also u have to make the thing to go faster by sweeping the snow aside.

Just 1. Each rock is worth 1 point if it's closer to the center of the house (the painted "target" area) than the other team's closest rock. The different colored rings don't have different points values, they're just there to visually aid in judging how far rocks are from the center.

Before each curling match, the ice is "pebbled" by spraying drops of hot water on the ice. The drops freeze within a few seconds and make the ice surface bumpy (about 1 bump per every square centimeter of ice). Quality pebble is one of the keys to modern finesse-based curling. It allows the rocks to slide down the ice much more easily and act more consistently than if the ice were simply smooth like a mirror. It also gives particles of debris a place to hide so that they don't run under the rock and cause the rock to do strange things.

Wearing-down of the pebble is an important factor in strategy, as it causes the behavior of the rocks to change as a game goes on. For example, rocks may act differently on the right side vs. left side of the sheet if significantly more rocks have been thrown on one side vs. the other.

Curling is a team sport.

The word hammer comes from the Old English word hamor which in Germanic means "stone"

The Heat makes your hair contract, basically your hair shrinks in the heat in areas pulling the rest of your hair causing it to curl, same thing happens with plastic. People also want it to curl their hair, that's why they invented it.

The transferrence of momentum from one stone to the other is a good example.

This is called "blanking the end." In curling, whichever team scores gives the "hammer" (the advantage of having the last shot) to the other team for the next end. If no one scores ("blank end"), the team that has the hammer keeps it for the next end. If the team with the hammer has a choice of whether to score 1 point and give up the hammer, or blank the end and keep the hammer, they will usually purposely blank the end, carry the hammer to the next end, and to try to score more than one point in the next end.

Usually the third holds the broom while the skip throws. That's why the third is also called the "vice skip." The third holds the broom because he or she is usually the next most experienced person on the team, after the skip.

Really, though, there aren't any rules about who must hold the broom, when. The lead could hold the broom the whole game (except when he's shooting, of course) if that's what the team wanted.

On some teams, the third might actually be better at "calling ice" (showing where to aim) or making sweeping calls, so they might have the third hold the broom throughout the game, instead of the skip.

Winkler Manitoba Canada I believe it was 168 ends using corn brooms in 1968. If this is serious I can get exact info from my dad as it was his team.

The circular scoring area in curling is called the "house". The outer, middle, and inner rings have diameters of 12 feet, 8 feet, and 4 feet, respectively. This is why you will often hear curlers refer to the "12-foot", "8-foot", and "4-foot" rings when discussing rock placement.

The circle actually don't have different points values. In curling, each stone can score 1 point if it is closer than the closest stone of the other team (in other words, if yellow team has 8 rocks far away from the center, but red team has just one rock right in the center, red will score 1 point) Only the team with the closest rock to the center scores points in that "end" (which is like one round). The painted rings area as a whole is called the "house," and like I said, all that matters is if your rocks are closer to the center (called the "tee") than the other team's. As long as a rock is touching at least part of the house, it is eligible to score.
