little hammer thing

[edit]

What is the relevance of the little hammers in the bottom table. I thought an encyclopedia was meant to enlighten not puzzle. Richard Avery (talk) 19:43, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you hover your mouse over it, the alternate text tells you what it means. -- Earl Andrew - talk 20:46, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Doh! why didn't I think of that. But now I am left wondering why a hammer and why is it important (relatively) to note this fact... if you have a moment;-) Richard Avery (talk) 07:24, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The terminology of having last rock advantage in curling is called having "hammer", so it makes sense to use a little hammer for the scoreboard. In fact, that's what's used in real life score boards.
