Each <b>end starts<\/b> with the <b>lead player<\/b> throwing two stones, then the second player throws two, followed by the third, and finally the fourth (often the skip). Teams alternate throwing stones throughout the end.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>skip is the team captain<\/b> and stands in the house directing strategy while teammates deliver stones. The <b>vice-skip<\/b> takes over captain duties when the skip is delivering. <b>Mixed doubles<\/b> curling uses <b>just two players per team<\/b> throwing <b>five stones<\/b> each, with pre-placed positioned stones at the start of every end.<\/p>\n<h2>How Scoring Works and the House Explained<\/h2>\n<p>The <b>target area is called the house<\/b>, which has four <b>concentric circles<\/b> with the <b>center button<\/b> as the scoring point. A team earns <b>one point for each stone<\/b> that sits closer to the button than the opponent&#8217;s closest stone. Only <b>stones within 1.83 meters (6 feet) of the center<\/b> count toward the score.<\/p>\n<p><b>Only one team scores per end<\/b>, meaning if Team A has a stone closest to the center, Team B receives zero points. A <b>blank end occurs<\/b> when neither team&#8217;s stones reach the house, resulting in no points for either side. The team with the <b>most points after all 10 ends wins<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Rules and Boundaries You Must Know<\/h2>\n<table style='width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0'>\n<tr style='background:#f4f4f4'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Rule Element<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>What It Means<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Hog Line<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Located 10.05 meters from the hack; stone must be released before this line<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Free Guard Zone<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Area between hog line and house; no stones removed until 4 stones delivered<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Back Line<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Located 6 feet from tee line; stones beyond this are removed from play<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Button<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>The center of the house where scoring distance is measured from<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>The <b>hog line enforces release timing<\/b>, preventing players from delivering stones too far down the ice.

Curlers play to win, but never to humble their opponents. A true curler never attempts to distract opponents, nor to prevent them from playing their best, and would prefer to lose rather than to win unfairly.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style='font-size:0.9em;color:#666;margin-top:-15px'>\u2014 <b>World Curling Federation<\/b>, Spirit of Curling Code<\/p>\n<h2>Sweeping Strategy and Equipment Requirements<\/h2>\n<p><b>Sweeping is critical<\/b> to curling strategy and changes how stones move. By <b>sweeping the ice in front of a moving stone<\/b>, players melt a thin layer of ice that reduces friction, allowing the stone to travel <b>2 to 3 meters farther<\/b> and reduce curl. <b>Only running stones<\/b> (those in motion) may be swept, never stationary ones.<\/p>\n<p><b>Each player wears special curling shoes<\/b> with one gripper sole for stability and one slider sole for gliding during delivery. <b>Stones weigh nearly 20 kilograms<\/b> and are created from special granite. Teams must <b>declare their sweeping brushes<\/b> before each match begins, and using another player&#8217;s brush during competition results in disqualification.<\/p>\n<h2>What Violations and Penalties Can Disqualify Teams?<\/h2>\n<p><b>Touching a moving stone<\/b> accidentally results in removal or repositioning depending on circumstances. <b>Burning a stone<\/b>, where a player or sweeper touches a stone in motion, is an automatic infraction. The <b>hog line violation<\/b> occurs when a player releases the stone after it crosses the delivery end hog line, resulting in stone removal.<\/p>\n<p><b>Serious infractions include<\/b> equipment violations, which can result in player disqualification and team forfeiture. <b>Unsportsmanlike conduct<\/b>, foul language, or equipment abuse lead to ejection and suspension from future
