Le curling oppose deux équipes de quatre joueurs chacune. Une partie est en général de dix «bouts» ou manches. Une manche est complète quand toutes les pierres ont été lancées d'un côté de la piste à l'autre. Durant la manche suivante, les pierres seront lancées dans la direction opposée. Chaque équipe a huit coups par manche. C'est l'équipe dont le pointage accumulé est le plus élevé qui remporte la partie.  3, record 1, French, - curling
