Sweepers should stay on the sidelines between the hog lines when not sweeping. Wait for the score. Vice skips are the only players allowed in the house while the score for the end is being decided. All other players should wait beyond the hog line until told they may move into the house to clear the rocks. A shot well executed is a delight to see and so, too, it is a fine thing to observe the time-honored traditions of curling being applied in the true spirit of the game.
Curlers play to win but never to humble their opponents.
A true curler would prefer to lose rather than win unfairly. No curler ever deliberately breaks a rule of the game or any of its traditions. While the main object of curling is to determine the relative skills of the players, the spirit of the game demands good sportsmanship, kindly feeling and honorable conduct. This spirit should influence both the interpretation and application of the rules of the game and also the conduct of all participants on and off the ice. Step off the ice slider foot first.
