At the start of an end, and the game, the two Skips go down to the far house and begin to direct play for their teams
(they are team captain). Each team alternates throwing with the other team one stone at a time. Each player throws
two stones. When the Lead is delivering the Second and Vice are sweeping as the Skip watches the "line" (curl) of
the stone. The sweepers judge the "weight" (how far the stone will travel) while the
|
 |
Skip will yell to them if the
stone is curling too much. Finally, when the Skip throws the Vice watches the line from the Skip's position and the Lead and
Second sweep. At the conclusion of an end the two Vices must agree on the score and it is marked on the scoreboard.

While it is true that the sport of curling dates back to the 15th century, the modern version (Scottish style)
originated in the early 17th century. The oldest Curling Club in North America is Royal Montreal Curling Club (1807).
Curling was always played outdoors, usually on frozen lakes, until the 20th century. Curling was a demonstration
sport in the Olympics 4 times (1924, 1932, 1992, 1994) before being admitted as a full medal sport in 1998.
Canada has more curlers in total than any other country.
