Originally posted by sloppybScoring is simple. The team receives one point for each of their rocks that are within the house and are closer to the center than any of the opposition's stones. The team that scores throws first in the next end. (http://www.curldc.org/about/basics.php)
who do you score points in curling? its all confusing
So say I have 5 rocks in the house and you have 1 rock. If only 1 of my rocks is closer to the center than your 1 rock, I will only get one point for that end. Say on the next end I have 3 rocks in the house and you have 2 rocks, but your 2 rocks are closer to the center than any of my rocks. You will get rewarded 2 points for that end. Typically good, solid teams will score 1 to 2 points per end depending on who has the hammer (last rock), but an 8-ender, though rare, is possible at any level.
One of the best traditions in curling is the winners buy the losers a round at the pub after the match is finished. So everybody is a winner in curling!
