Record 1 1999-08-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Curling
DEF

To throw a rock with the required weight so that its path stops in the house, at the back of the tee line.

OBS

The "back of the house" is the area contained by the tee line and the outer ring or 12-foot circle. Distinguish from "at the back of the house" which means outside the house, thus out of play.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Curling
DEF

Lancer une pierre de sorte qu'elle s'immobilise dans la maison, derrière la ligne du T.

OBS

L'«arrière de la maison» est l'espace compris entre la ligne du T et le cercle extérieur ou cercle de 12 pieds; pour qu'une pierre demeure en jeu, il faut l'y placer «dans» ou «dedans». Placer une pierre «à l'arrière de la maison», c'est la faire s'immobiliser à l'extérieur de celle-ci, ce qui la rend hors jeu.
