In curling how many points for each circle?
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.
