curling scoring

Games in the men's and women's tournaments consist of 10 ends, eight ends in mixed doubles (an end is similar to a baseball inning)

What is a power play in curling? In mixed doubles, teams can call a power play once a game. It is announced at the beginning of an end and allows a team to decide on the placement of pre-positioned stones.

In the mixed doubles, there are eight rounds, or "ends". Each team can throw five stones per end; the final score is calculated when all stones have been thrown. A team can have one or more stones close to the centre of the 'house,' thus scoring one or more points for each end.

Rules to curling Each game is played between two teams with four players each consisting of four positions − lead, second, third and fourth. The lead takes the first two stones and the second plays the third and fourth stones. The third delivers the fifth and sixth stones and the fourth has the last two stones.
