English

Subject field(s)
  • Curling
DEF

The horizontal line that bisects the rings and in front of which a player cannot sweep an opponent’s rock.

OBS

The "T line" is also the "sweeping line" because the curlers of one team could sweep in front of a teammate’s rock up to this line while the opposite team’s curlers could do it beyond this line.

OBS

The "tee line" is the line running horizontally through the centre of the house while the "centre line" is the line running vertically, from one hack to the other, 7 feet from either side of the sheet, through the entire length of the playing surface, bisecting the houses and crossing the tee line perpendicularly.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Curling
DEF

Ligne qui sépare horizontalement les cercles de la maison en deux parties égales et devant laquelle aucun joueur ne peut balayer la pierre d'un adversaire.

OBS

La «ligne du T» est aussi «ligne de balayage» parce que les curleurs d'une équipe peuvent balayer devant la pierre d'un co-équipier jusqu'à cette ligne et que les curleurs de l'autre équipe peuvent le faire au-delà de cette ligne.

OBS

Ne pas confondre la «ligne du T» qui traverse horizontalement le centre de chaque maison, et la «ligne de centre» qui sépare, à la verticale, la piste de curling en deux, allant d'un appui-pied à l'autre, à 7 pieds de chaque côté de la piste, et passant par le centre de chaque maison.

OBS

Le terme «tee score» est un anglicisme au Canada.
