When the skip is throwing his stone, the third is in the house directing the shots. The skip is the team captain directing the overall strategy and shot selection. Skips are known for their excellent shot making ability and powers of observation. After all sixteen stones have been thrown, the score is calculated and the end is complete. Most draws last six to eight ends.
Formal competitions have ten ends.
For each stone that is closer, one point is scored. Only one team can score per end. All rights reserved. All material on this site is reserved and may not be copied, distributed, or used without the expressed written permission of the owner.
