Burned Stone - A stone in motion that is touched by a member of either team, or any part or portion of their equipment. A burned stone is immediately removed from play by the party who burned it.

I think with the Scottish backgrounds of the game of curling, and the power of the hammer, it might have just been named it because of its power. As you know, hammer means last rock and that is pretty powerful. I don't know..just my guess!!

The umpire is wrong.  The runner on third base will return to the bag. The runner from 2nd was called out. The hitter is credited with a base hit, and he is safe at first.\nPlay stops.  2 outs, 2 on base, next hitter please.

Curling is a game of skill, where the aim is to throw a stone close to a point. It is similar to bowls, but on ice.

There is no penalty.  You replace the ball.  The hole has not started until you take a swing at the trying to hit it.

The quick answer- The Game is played between two four-member teams who use stones with different colored handles. Each game consists of ten ends, which are similar to innings in baseball. During an end, each team member alternates throwing stones toward a circular target area, called the house, the center of which is approximately 93 feet away. Only one team scores points per end. The team with their stones closest to the center of the target area, called the button, gets one point for each stone between the button and the opposing teams nearest stone. After each end is completed, play is switched to the house at the other end of the sheet. \n\n===============\nRules of Curling \nThe following link will take you to informative websites with in-depth discussions on the rules of curling:\n\nCurling Rules - World and Canadian curling rules, including animated descriptions of various curling techniques \n\nCurling Fundamentals - Simple discussions of curling fundamentals for delivery, sweeping, and strategy. \n \nhttp://www.curldc.org/about/rules.php

A force out at home does not count as a hit. five is the correct answer. 1 hit then thrown out stealing. 2nd hit thrown out stealing, then three singles.

It comes down to how much curl there is happening. Players know that the rock curls most for a guard, and the least for a peel. So, they judge how close it is to hitting the rock or going in the right place. So if they want it to stay straight or speed up, they call for them to sweep, and if they don't, then they hold them off.

Okay no penalty results in the forming of a wall.  a penalty is awarded for a foul committed in the penalty box.  The ball is placed on the penalty spot and the player attempts to shoot the ball past the opposing teams goalkeeper.\nFree kicks are awarded for fouls committed outside the penalty box.  For a serious foul (like handball) these are dirct and you may choose to shoot directly at the goal.  For a less serious offence these are indiect and youmust pass to another player before a shot is taken.  The formation of a wall is optional for both of these although more likely for the direct free kick.\nHope this helps

Curling is huge in Canada.  Have you ever done it? \n\nDo you know how much a rock (curling stone) weighs? \n\nIt is a lot of work, to get that rock to go to the other end of the ice...and sweeping on the ice assists it. \n\nThere are 4 people..the Skip, Vice, Second & Lead, and they all have crucial roles to play. \n\nYou need to have the right strength, and know the ice surface, and have the right turn to make the rock go the direction you like.  You need to be quick to make sure you keep up with the rock, and as you approach the house (the circle), you need to be very careful you don't burn (touch) any of the rocks.  \n\nIt is a sport. \nTrust me, it is a lot harder than it looks.  Unless you have played...you shouldn't judge.  If they have made it look easy, it is because they are good....and deserve to be there.
