In the big "Leagues" ten ends are played and aggregate score is accumulated. Each end the four members of each team throws two rocks each alternately and the team which has the most stones closest to the button or centre of the house ( which is the circles at the other end of the sheet)\nscores a point for each rock until there is an opposing teams rock.\nThe opposing teams stone/rock which is the nearest they could get doesn't count but it cancels out any of the scoring teams that may be in the house. \nIt may sound complicated but it easy when you get out there and play, you learn the rules by the time you've played your first game.

Yes, I think it is a very fun sport.  What about you?

Soccer is the ultimate physical chess match. To move the ball around and in a way to be able to score is much harder than even hockey. that is why the low score. Also the point that there is not scoring of multiple points as basketball or football and such. Plus the defense is ever present. Not like other sports. And the ball, being much larger than a puck, is harder to sneak pass the goal tender.

For me the best way to learn about football has been simply to watch it! I have picked up everything I need to know and occasionally even commentators have to check things so it isn't the end of the world if a situation comes up and you don't quite know how they will sort it out or why a ref/official made a certain decision (but hey, even when you do understand everything, you'll still be at a loss to explain some of their decisions!) But anyway I have learnt almost everything I know about the beautiful game from watching it, and occasionally consulting with anyone else in the room who may know more than me!\n\nIf you would like to read about the rules, or as they are more properly known, the Laws of the Game, they are all here (and are updated and revised when FIFA decides to change something, like the offside law):\n\nhttp://www.fifa.com/en/regulations/regulation/0,1584,3,00.html\n\nVAMOS ARGENTINA!!!

I can understand Sports, but I'm confused as to why this is in Basketball.

It's a sport that's played in most of Europe and has gained popularity in Asia and other countries.  It's an Olympic sport cuz there's enough popularity for it to demand a place there.  Read the entry on it to learn about the rules and such.

Have heart!  I know it sounds stupid but you don't have to be the best player.  Just the desire.  I've played for years and believe me I'm not the best but I try to keep a positive attitude and play with people that jell together.  One bad apple and it upsets the whole team.  Play smart!  Watch the other team and look for their weak spots.  Have fun!  This was always my motivation in a tourneyment!  Hope this helps some....its not technical but it sure kept me playing!!

They are always running yes.\n\nBut its nothing like rugby.  Rugby is more like NFL as basically play from a line, both teams on opposite sides when the play starts.\n\nAussie Rules is not a stop start game, more like soccer in that respect, but where you can use hands, with tackling, hard hits, high flying catches (called marks) and generally high scoring goal kicking.\n\nIt's a great game to watch.\n\nAs far as telling you the rules, have you got 6 months?&#92;\n\nCheck out the AFL website or better yet, watch a game or highlights package.

football is not boring, football is really fun to watch. if you knew more about the game, maybe you would like it more. you should watch a game with a football expert and ask him questions.

haha yeah this game is fun...basically everyone holds out their hands(10 fingers) and then a person says something that he/she has never done but knows that some or all of the other people have done. First one to have the most fingers at the end of the game wins...and try to ask creative questions or else its just boring. :P

Unlike many sports you need very little to play.  All you need is a ball and a few jackets for posts.  For many games you cannot play a proper game without extra equipment etc.\nAlso it is rely simple.  The basic rules are very easy to grasp.  It is also easy to play.  By that I mean that with a basic grasp of the rules you can pick up a ball and have a game.  That's not to say it doesn't involve skill.  What I mean is that you don't have to start early and can still enjoy a kick about.\nIt also is accessible to all.  Sports like basketball favour a certain type of person.  It would be incredibly difficult to play basketball well if your short.  Football is different in that anyone who is fit and puts in the effort has a chance.\n\nSo by all that I mean that football in accessible to all.  That makes it very appealing.

I often wonder the same thing...I just cant get into college football like I get into the NFL. I just dont like watching big plays every other down, and thats what happens in college. Scores of 60 to 50 are ridiculous and not entertaining to me. I want to see the best of the best...I want to see people playing for paychecks...I want to see people earning money. \n\nIt is not near as exciting as NFL...thats the real deal!

The action in the sport. Baseball can be boring, football is too much like being raped in jail, hockey is for aggressive criminals, and boxing is for people who don't mind getting their asses kicked. Basketball is interesting and if played correctly won't cause pain. If feels good to hit a jumpshot. If feels even better to dunk the ball and crossover someone.

Like basketball, the game is played on a hard court with scoring rings at both ends, and with a ball resembling a basketball (but lighter, smaller and slightly softer in construction). The rings, whilst of similar height and dimension to basketball hoops, do not have a "backboard". The field is divided into thirds which regulate where individuals in each team are allowed to move, and two semi-circular "shooting circles" at each end from within which all scoring shots must be taken.\n\nThere are seven players on each team, who are given nominated, named positions (and in competitive netball must wear "bibs" or "patches" showing the abbreviations below indicating that position). \n\nBy the combination of the above, only the Goal Attack and Goal Shooter are able to score goals directly.\n\nNetball rules do not permit players to take more than one step in possession of the ball. Consequently, the only way to move the ball towards the goal is to throw the ball to a teammate. The ball cannot be held by one person for more than 3 seconds at any one time. This, combined with the restrictions on where players can move, ensures that everyone on the team is regularly involved in play. Defence is restricted -- not only is contact not permitted, but players must be at least three feet (90 centimetres) away to defend, meaning that hard physical contact is rare. If contact is made, the ball must be passed to the team against which the penalty was committed.\n\nA game is played in 4 quarters of 15 minutes each, with an interval of 3 minutes between the first and second and third and fourth quarters and an interval of 5 minutes at half time. There is up to 2 minutes of time allowed for each injury.

Enjoys all sports in general and have even tried to gain interest in soccer by learning the rules and watching it.  It still is a very slow moving and dull game.  Prefers American football by far.
