how is curling scored?

curling is scored some what like horseshoes.  who ever has the closest rock to the center gets a point.  the next closest rock, if it is from the same team who shot the closest gets another point.  This team continues to get points until the you reach one of the other teams rocks during that end.

well there are 6 players on the court from one team at a time. 7 if you have a DS. it's not a timed sport you play for points. you play by getting the ball over the net by passing or setting or hitting without hitting it out of bounds. you score by having the other team hit it out or having them not get it over in their three tries. you win by winning 2 out of three games to 25 or 3 out of 5 fames to 25. depends on the rules. basically the back row wants to pass the ball to the setter so the setter can set up the hitter to slam the ball in the other teams face =]

I don't know but I did ask my husband how these athletes come about that compete in curling. What kid grows up running to their friend's house to say, "Lets go curling". It is pretty cool though isn't it???? I wonder what store sells these- not the average sporting goods store.

To put the tennis scoring system as simply as possible, one must win: \n\na. four points to win a game (15,30,40,game).\n\nb. atleast six games to win a set (with a difference of two or more between the game scores) Example below.\n\nc. two sets (or, more rarely, three) sets to win a match \n\nDeuce:- A deuce is any tie in the score starting with 40-40. This means that if the score is love-love, 15-15, or 30-30, it is not a deuce. But any ties after that are considered deuces.\n\nA player must win by two points. So, until a player scores two points in a row after a tie, the game continues. Each point after the deuce is called an advantage point. So, for instance, say the score is deuce, and the server scores. The score is now "advantage-in". (It would be advantage-out if the receiver scored). An advantage means that person only needs one more shot to win the game.\n\nWinning a set:-\n\nExample No.1:-\n\nPlayer A has won 5 games. Player B has also won 5 games.\nPlayer A or B have to win 2 more games inorder to win the set. Lets say player A wins two more games and his/her total is now 7 games. So he/she wins the set, with the score 7-5.\n\nExample No.2:- Player A has 6 games and player B also has 6 games and lets say its not the final set of the championship. Then it ends up in a tie break. \n\nA winner's match score appears in the newspaper as: 6-3, 6-7(2), 7-6(5). what do the numbers in parenthesis mean? \n\n\nYou'll notice that those numbers only appear when the set score is 7-6, indictating that the score went to 6-6, and a tie-break game was used to decide the winner of the set. In that game, the first to score seven or more points, and lead by two, takes the game. \n\nThe number in parenthesis is the number of points scored by the loser. In the above example, the first tie break game went to the loser of the match, by a score of 7-2, levelling the match at one set all. The third set tiebreak was won 7-5, ending the match. \n\nBecause the game has to be won by two clear points, the number scored by the loser can be any number. If it's more than five, the points scored by the winner is two points higher. For example, a (7) would mean the score in the tiebreak game was 9-7.

If you are in a Rotisserie  league, points are scored by how you rank in the designated statistical categories. The stats for the Goalie are Wins, GAA, SV%, and Shutouts. Your league may have some or all of those stats included in scoring. Check your league settings. \n\nFor example, if you are in a 15 team league and you lead the league in Wins, you get 15 points from the Wins category. If you're second in Shutouts, you get 14 points, etc. \n\nHope this helps.

Did you ever watch curling?

It's like a game of bocce ball. On pebbled Ice. Curling is played by "ends" like "innings" in baseball. \n\nThere are 10 ends. In each end only 1 team can score points. The team with the rock closest to the button is awarded one point for each of its own rocks that is closer than the opponent's closest rock. If you happen to have multiple stones closer to the "button" than any of your opponents stones inside the "house" those are added to your score. Each team throws 8 stones per end. A maximium of 8 points is possible per end. If both teams are outside the house, no points are awarded in that end. The "sweeping" is to smooth the surface out to allow the stone to move farther and move straighter. It's better explained at the link I have provided but I wanted to give my own interpretation.

"Curling." for one. All I know is that it involves sweeping the ice with a broom in advance of a large, slow moving, roundish stone...certainly would be unusual here in Texas...

See what we Americans have been missing. I wonder if Curling will become more mainstream now as it is in Canada! It is a fascinating concept not only because of the skill, but because of the physics of it as well! lol.....and not to mention the men like the girls that are easy on the eyes. lol :P

One way to model the game is to assume that the two teams have constant probabilities per unit time of scoring a goal: p and q for the home and away teams repectively. Then the probability of the score being h to v after time t is just the product of two Poisson distributions:\n\nP(h,v,t) = exp(-pt)(pt)^h/h! * exp(-qt)(qt)^v/v!\n\nNumerically fitting p and q to give .45,.25,.3 for the probabilities of winning, losing and tying gives:\n\np = 1.2 , q = .8\n\nThat gives p+q = 2.0 goals per game (instead of 2.3) and e^(-(p+q)/2) = .36 probability of being scoreless at the half (instead of .3). The choice:\n\np = 1.4 , q = .9\n\nwould get the latter two numbers closer (2.3 and .32). Using those numbers in the above formula (I used a computer) gives the following probabilities for the difference in scores created by one half worth of play:\n\nP(+2) = .09\nP(+1) = .26\nP(0) = .42\nP(-1) = .17\nP(-2) = .04\n\nThe probability of being tied at any point in the second half is obviously at least P(0) (the probability of being tied at the beginning of the second half). As a rough approximation we can add in the probability of coming back if the difference is +1 at the beginning of the half:\n\n.26 * (.17 + .04 + .01) = .06\n\nand if the difference is -1:\n\n.17 * (.26 + .09 + .01) = .06\n\nAdding those to .42 gives a lower limit (.54) for the probability of being tied at least one time in the second half. I would guess it's about 55% or so based on all these assumptions.

I think tennis and golf are the most boring.  Maybe that's just because I've never heard of curling.  What's curling?

The scoring system for golf is actually very simple.\n\nEach hole on every course is given a "par" score..in other words the number of shots it should take you to get your ball from the tee to the hole. The par for a hole depends on its length and difficulty. \n\nA "bogie" is  the par score for a hole plus one..so if you take 5 shots on a par 4 hole, thats a bogie..and thats not good!\n\nA "birdie" is the par score for a hole minus one..so if you only take 3 shots on a par 4 hole, that's a birdie...and that's good!\n\nThe winner is the golfer who take the fewest shots to go round all 18 holes on a course.\n\nThe best way to learn is to play,  or just watch the big tournaments on the TV. You will soon pick it up.
