Description of the event
* Curling is a competition between teams, high score wins. Here, a tournament is held
between four teams, one for each player. When less than four players are compet-
ing, the remaining teams will be played by the computer.
* Two teams compete at a time, alternating with one throw apiece. One "end" is
completed after each team throws 4 stones (B total), at which time the team that
has placed a stone nearest to the center of the "house" (rings drawn on the ice
surface) wins.
* If neither team has a stone left in the house after all stones in an end are thrown,
the result is a tie score. If the score is tied after all the ends are played, a sudden
death playoff is held.
* Sudden death playoff
Each team throws one stone, the team whose stone is nearest the center wins. This
step is repeated until one team is the victor.
* Press the Triangle button after a throw to change the view point to the opposite direction.
* The following settings for curling can be changed in the Options menu.
- A Number of ends
A maximum of 10 ends
- Playoff method in a tie
Sudden death or extra ends (extended play)
- Free guard zone rule ON/OFF
When ON, the free guard zone rule applies. This means that stones placed in this
zone can not be bumped out by the other team until the first four stones in an -
end have been thrown. If this rule is violated, the stone thrown is removed and
the expelled stone put back in its original position. When OFF, the free guard
zone rule does not apply.
- Number of deliveries (stones)
Can be changed to 4 or 8. Default is 4.

Determining points scored
Example 1
The white team scores 1 point. The black
team scores 0 points, because they were C
unable to place a stone closer than the
white team
Example 2
Neither team was able to place a stone
inside the house. Therefore, no points
are scored.
Example 3
Although, the white team was able to place
two stones in the house, one is further from
the center than the black team's stone and
does not qualify as a point. Therefore, white
earns 1 point and black 0.
