Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
A player who slides with the rock and fails to release it before reaching [the hog line of the delivering side] has his shot taken out of play before it reaches any other rock. ... Any rock fairly thrown but which does not completely cross [the hog line of the target side] is considered to be out of play and is removed from the ice surface [unless it has previously struck another rock]. 7, record 1, English, - hog%20line
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
The "hog line" was previously named the "front line" for being the in-play line, as compared to the "back line" which is the out-of-play line. The name "hog line" comes from the fact that is removed from play and declared a "hog" any rock not released before it reaches this line on the delivery side, or any rock not travelling past this line on the target side. 6, record 1, English, - hog%20line

Un curleur qui glisse avec une pierre et ne la relâche pas avant de toucher la ligne de jeu du côté des lancers, voit sa pierre (qu’on appelle alors un «cochon») retirée du jeu avant même qu’elle n’atteigne toute autre pierre. Toute pierre correctement lancée mais qui ne franchit pas complètement la ligne de jeu du côté de la cible, est considérée hors jeu et est retirée de la piste à moins qu’elle n’ait frappé une autre pierre auparavant. 9, record 1, French, - ligne%20de%20jeu
