    Curling has been described as chess on ice - but with more shouting. What exactly are they saying and why does it play such a big role?

    The score is actually mostly based on how often and how loudly the teammates shout. That's why they scream so much, they would lose otherwise.

    • @annahowey6078
      @annahowey6078 6 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Luisa Carrera sweeping a stone has a few uses
      So the first one is to help the stone go further. This is because as someone so sweeping thy are melting the top layer of ice, meaning that the thin layer of water will help the stone go a little further
      It also helps keep the stone straight because the sweeper closer to the stone is sweeping against the curl of the stone. This means it prevents the stone from curling as easily
      Sweeping is very important for every shot so it’s essential to the game
      I hope that helped!!

      DeadlyDanDaMan I know how physics work but that’s not the case here. They sweep to make the surface even not to make it faster. Like you said ”straighter”. In that case why wouldn’t just the guy who ”rolls” the stone use more power?

    • @hyrulphicsound
      @hyrulphicsound 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sweeping in curling is done for two reasons, to increase the curl of a rock and to increase the distance traveled by the rock. Sweeping does not make the rock travel straighter or faster. The difference of a curl and distance traveled between a swept and an unswept rock can be up to 20% if I'm not incorrect. I saw a small clip on it a while ago so my memory for the numbers might be wrong. But suffice to say, sweeping can dramatically change the curl of a rock and how far it goes. It can be the difference between a successful throw or a horrible miss. You won't see curlers sweeping a rock that's meant to travel straight and fast since that's usually traveling too fast for them to keep up and that rock doesn't need to curl. A rock that is thrown straight and fast is called a takeout rock. Those rocks usually don't stay in play themselves because they fly out of the target area and take everything it hits out with them.
      If you don't know what I mean by curl, curl refers to how much of a curved path a rock takes. The more curl, the more curved the path is. The less curl, the more straight the path is. The challenge of curling comes from throwing rocks with just the right amount of curl and weight behind them to take out your opponent's rocks while placing your own rocks in strategic positions to score as many points as possible while making it difficult for your opponent to take out your rocks.

    I've never played Curling, but I did watch it a lot of the Olympic games in the past decade. It seems to me that they all try really hard the entire game, but whoever gets the last shot at the end seems to win the set. I could be wrong, but that's just what i've noticed from my limited viewing experience.

      @Mjl449 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Which ever team is closest to the centre circle gets the points, but only the rocks before the opponent’s rocks. It’s really hard to explain. If your team gets the last shot than you do certainly have an advantage, but only if your rock gets closer to the centre than all of the opponent’s rocks.

    • @shawncharles9980
      @shawncharles9980 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes. Having last rock in an end (an end is equivalent to an inning in baseball and a game consists of either 8 or 10 ends) is a big advantage. You generally want to score two or more points in any end where you have last rock.
      Last rock (also known as the hammer) in the first end of a game is determined either by a coin toss or by having each team throw one stone - whoever lands closest to the button wins last rock. For subsequent ends, last rock is awarded to the team that was scored against. For example, if I score two points in the first end you will have hammer in the second end. If you score one point in the second end I get hammer in the third. If you score another point in the third (scoring points without last rock is called stealing) I retain last rock in the 4th. If nobody scores a point in the 4th, I still keep the hammer in the 5th.
      Because having the hammer is such a big advantage, you'll often see teams intentionally score zero points (blank end) in order to keep last rock in the next end..... Clear as mud??

    • @mikemoloney6448
      @mikemoloney6448 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Willy the game i divided into ends (Ten Ends for Olympic and World Championships) with 16 stones or rocks thrown (alternating between each team in an end) and yes the last stone thrown in each end is important and so the strategy is to have" Last stone advantage" or in curling speak "The Hammer"
