Floor Curling is the off-ice adaptation of the Olympic sport of Curling. [1] The game is played essentially in the same way as normal curling, just without sweeping and on a flat, non-ice surface.
Floor curling teams can consist of 1, 2, 3, or 4 players and can be played at a recreational or competitive level. Individuals of all abilities can play the sport together with the use of accessible equipment like a pusher stick.[2]
Equipment:
[edit]Floor curling requires 8 stones (two of each colour) and two target rings set 8 metres apart.[3]
FloorCurl is the Official Equipment of the sport of Floor Curling and the Official Iceless Curling Equipment of the World Curling Federation[4]
Gameplay:
[edit]The object of floor curling is to get as many of your stones closest to the middle of the target rings, closer than the other team.[5] Games usually last 8 ends and whichever team has the most points by the end of the game is the winner. [6]
