“Weight” means the pace of the delivery. For a draw, the aim is to arrive and stop at the chosen spot.

This interactive demonstration needs JavaScript. A draw places a stone in the house; a guard stops in front of it; a hit removes another stone; a raise bumps a stone forward. Read World Curling’s guide.

01 / THE HOUSE

The rings are a ruler.

The outer circles are 12, 8, and 4 feet across; the button is the small center circle. Rings help you judge distance, not point values.

02 / THE STONES

Follow the numbers.

Stone 1 is the delivered stone. Stone 2 is already in play. Red is your team; yellow is the opposition in the hit example.

03 / THE REAL ICE

Learn the idea first.

These are authored illustrations, not a physics predictor. Real results depend on delivery, ice, sweeping, and contact. No sweeping or turn controls are modeled.

A little context. Only the scoring end is shown. Motion and timing are illustrative. Shot terms: World Curling and Curling Canada. House dimensions: World Curling, R1.
