OBS

hit (verb): For a delivered rock, to touch an opponent’s rock in the house or in front of the house to take the latter out of the rings or out of play, or one’s team rock in front of the house or in the house to push it further on the play and make it a guard or position it to represent a possible point.

OBS

The term "inside" refers to the part of a playing area midway between the sides; it thus means, for a curling sheet, an area getting close to the centre line.

DEF

Pour une pierre lancée, entrer en contact avec une pierre, habituellement une pierre adverse, du côté de la pierre le plus rapproché de la ligne médiane.

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.
