The delivery of a rock with the needed twist to position it at the back of one's team guard.

OBS

The noun "draw" (in French "placement" or "lancer de placement) here means the delivery of a rock in such a way that it comes to lay on a precise spot on the play, actually behind a guard, without touching another rock, nor putting out an opponent's rock on its way.

OBS

guard (or cover) (nouns): A rock positioned between the hog line and the house, often to protect another rock behind, and that blocks the path of a rock to deliver.
