What are the rules for curling?

After both teams have delivered eight rocks, the team with the rock closest to the button is awarded one point for each of its own rocks that is closer than the opponent's closest rock. Rocks that are not in the house (further from the center than the outer edge of the 12-foot ring) do not score even if no opponent's rock is closer. A rock is considered in the house if any portion of its edge is over any portion of the 12-foot ring. Since the bottom of the rock is rounded, a rock just barely in the house will not have any actual contact with the ring, which will pass under the rounded edge of the stone, but it still counts.\n\n \nThis is a typical curling score-board used at clubs, which is vastly different from the ones used on television.The score is marked on a scoreboard, of which there are two types. One is the baseball type scoreboard, which is usually used for televised games. On this scoreboard the ends are marked by columns 1 through 10 (or 11 for the possibility of an extra end to break ties) plus an additional column for the total. Below this are two rows — one for each team. The number of points each team gets in an end is marked this way.\n\nThe other form of scoreboard is the one used in most curling clubs (see photo). It is set up in the same way, except the numbered row indicated points not ends, and it can be found between the rows for the team. The numbers placed are indicative of the end. If the red team scores 3 points in the first end (called a three-ender), then a one (indicating the first end) is placed beside the number three in the red row. If they score two more in the second end, then a two will be placed beside the five in the red row indicating that the red team has five points in total (3+2). This scoreboard works because only one team can get points in an end. However, some confusion can exist if no team gets points in an end. This is called a blank end and the end number usually goes in the furthest column on the right in the row of the team who has the hammer (last rock advantage).\n\nWhen a team feels it is impossible or near impossible to win a game, they will usually shake hands with the opposing team to concede defeat. This may occur at any point during the game, but usually happens near the final end. When a game is completed by playing all ends, both teams also shake hands. This is often accompanied by saying "Good game!" Hands are also shaken before the game, accompanied by saying "Good curling!" to the opposing team.

Basically you have to get your teams stones closer to the centre of the house than they other team. This can either be done by drawing (putting a new stone in the house), raising (knocking another one of your stones into the house), or take out (removing one of the other teams stones). The brushing the ice reduces friction and makes the stones travel faster and can be used to make the stone change course.\n\nCurling is a team game so no one player is the best, as they all do different jobs, the skip is usually the best at takeouts and is last to play in each end, but other players are better at sweeping, while some players are good tacticians.

See what we Americans have been missing. I wonder if Curling will become more mainstream now as it is in Canada! It is a fascinating concept not only because of the skill, but because of the physics of it as well! lol.....and not to mention the men like the girls that are easy on the eyes. lol :P

Well first a cannon ball is basically a hard ball, for that try to hit it just in the middle, and put some direction to where you want your ball to go.\n\nThen the curling, you can apply it by hitting the ball with the interior part of the shoe creating a spin and giving some direction, as more to the edge you hit it, the hit would go perfect.\n\nIf you don't know some terms ill help you with that too.\n\nInterior Part: The part that faces the other shoe, this part is usually used to give short passes, because you can calculate the precision and the strenght\n\nSpin: hitting the ball so it makes a curve, it depends to where do you want to shoot, and which leg you are using.\n\nCannon Ball: Very hard ball, that usually doesn't have any effect(curling ball, loose-speed ball, backward ball, and some others) this is mostly use for hits that want to have a fixed direction.\n\nCurled Ball: Is referred to the ball that has some effect  that when you kick it, doesn't finish in the same side the ball is suppose to go. The ball has a shape of a curve in the air.

The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands. \nThe ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands. \nA player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowances to be made for a man who catches the ball when running if he tries to stop. \nThe ball must be held by the hands. The arms or body must not be used for holding it. \nNo shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping or striking in any way the person of an opponent shall be allowed; the first infringement of this rule by any player shall come as a foul, the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made, or, if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game, no substitute allowed. \nA foul is striking the ball with the fist, violation of Rules 3, 4, and such as described in Rule 5. \nIf either side makes three consecutive fouls it shall count as a goal for the opponents (consecutive means without the opponents in the meantime making a foul). \nA goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into the basket and stays there, providing those defending the goal do no touch or disturb the goal. If the ball rests on the edges, and the opponent moves the basket, it shall count as a goal. \nWhen the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field of play by the person touching it. He has a right to hold it unmolested for five seconds. In case of a dispute the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds; if he holds it longer it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game the umpire shall call a foul on that side. \nThe umpire shall be the judge of the men and shall note the fouls and notify the referee when three consecutive fouls have been made. He shall have power to disqualify men according to Rule 5. \nThe referee shall be judge of the ball and shall decide when the ball is in play, in bounds, to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall decide when a goal has been made and keep account of the goals, with any other duties that are usually performed by a referee. \nThe time shall be two fifteen-minute halves, with five minutes rest between. \nThe side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner. In the case of a draw the game may, by agreement of the captains, be continued until another goal is made.

Well ive been playin lacrosse for 4 years. You should start off with cradiling, the movement in which you move the head of teh stick back and forth to keep the ball in. Then work on pasing and catching. To spice it up throw in a rainbow whihc is when you have the ball in your stickand you move it over your head to avoid defenders. Also work on checking on defense. (When you hit the other oponents stick to get the ball out.)

I'm assuming you're a girl and you want to play...\n\nThe rules for girl's lacrosse are based on one premise: No plays or actions, defensive or offensive, that could end up hurting another player. The rules are a lot like basketball. The rules are complicated. After three years of coaching girls lacrosse, I still don't understand them all. \n\nThis is a comprehensive resource:\nhttp://www.uslacrosse.org/the_sport/girls_rules.phtml\n\nThere are 11 players on the field and one goalie:\nFirst Home, Second Home, Third Home (All-Time Offense)\nCenter, 2 Attack WIngs, 2 Defensive wings (Midfield)\nPoint, Cover Point, Third Man (All-Time Defense)\n\nThe play on the field is a lot like soccer. Almost all the players move up and down the field to the offensive side of the field and down to the defensive side of the field. Also, fouls can result in cards (Yellow, Red), depending on the severity of the offense.\nMajor fouls, such as tripping, taking a dangerous shot, Hitting a girl in the head, will result in a yellow card. Covering the ball with your stick, kicking the ball (called a "body-ball") will result in a warning and a turnover. These rules are a lot like soccer. \n\nAnyways, there are many, many more rules in girls' lacrosse. I could spend hours writing about the different rules for different situations on the field, but that would take too long. \n\nTo start you need a stick and a ball. That's it. Go to a wall and throw the ball agains the wall and catch it. It takes a while, but after about 1000 reps, it should be pretty natural to you. \n\nThe best way to learn is to play. Remember: coaches are there to teach you and a good coach won't lose his patience. \n\nGood luck

Curling made its Olympic debut at the original Olympic Games in 1924. It came back in the 1932 Lake Placid Games as a demonstration sport, but then went on a 56-year Olympic hiatus, until it returned as a demonstration sport at the 1988  and 1992 Games. Curling was brought back again as an official medal sport at the 1998 Nagano Games and has been an official sport in the Winter Olympics ever since.
