See the plan change, one stone at a time

Build an End

A curling end is a conversation. One team makes a shot. The other team answers.

Granite, HouseCall’s curling coach

Follow one complete four-player curling end with Granite. At three key moments, choose a call and compare the reasoning before seeing what happens.

One worked example, with room to think.

This is an illustrated lesson with planned outcomes, not a physics simulator. Your choices reveal different ideas; they do not change the example’s remaining shots. Several calls can be reasonable.

Take the idea to your team

Pause at a position and discuss your team’s strengths. Which shot would you choose? What miss could you live with? The right call depends on the score, ice and players.
