45 Minute Inquiry.

Indoor curling is an ice game it is played on ice it can be played indoor and outside, Winter is best for it to be played because you can play outside. There are heaps or rinks around for indoor curling to be played it is mostly played in ice skating rinks.

It is played on a 45.73m long board 5 meters wide, You have hack which is a stick with a circular object on the bottom to push the stone down to the end. The board reminds me of a dart board like white blue and read and the further you get it in were hitting is the more points you will get such as on a dart board its were the darts get placed. Each team has four players in it and a game has ten ends and each end is fiftieth  - ten  minutes so if we have ten games thats two hours and thirty minute games. Each team plays on a different court. There is a hog line which is were the stone passes to retrieve points.

New Zealand has a team that competed in the asian championships in 2011, when researching indoor curling it comes up with a lot of asian things. My assumption is that it is an asian sport. A lot of people mistake it for shuffle board.

The well known thing for indoor curling is to be nice and respect your players because in a way it is a delicate but difficult sport.
