HIT ROCK OUTSIDE [3 records]

Record 1 2012-06-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Curling
DEF

The motion of a delivered rock that misses its target, touches another rock in front of the house and caroms off the hit rock to move to the outside of the sheet.

OBS

wick (noun): A delivered rock that misses its mark by unintentionally touching another rock in front of the house.

OBS

The term "outside" refers to the part of a playing area farthest from the middle; it thus means, for a curling sheet, an area getting close to one of the side lines.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Curling
DEF

Déplacement d'une pierre lancée qui rate l'objectif et se heurte à une autre devant la maison pour adopter une trajectoire vers l'extérieur de la piste.

OBS

accrochage (produisant ricochet) : Mouvement d'une pierre qui rate son but tout en allant ricocher sur une autre en avant de la maison.

OBS

Le terme «intérieur» signifie la partie d'une aire de jeu à mi-chemin entre les côtés; pour une piste de curling, il signifie donc tout espace se rapprochant de la ligne médiane.
