Q and A

Q:  From Asheville, NC...."What are the rules of engagement for sweeping after contact between stones in the house? Seems like I've seen both teams sweeping both stones, but perhaps I'm mistaken."

A:  Once a thrown stone or a stone put into motion by the thrown stone has crossed the "T-line,"  one member of the team who did not throw the original moving stone may sweep stones in the House. Hence, you will often see both teams sweeping in the House. The T-line is the line that goes through the Button perpendicular to the direction a stone is thrown.

  1. Can both teams sweep in the House at the same time? And if so, what if I want to sweep the same rock they want to sweep? Or what if I want to protect a rock the other team wants to sweep?
