Fig. 1: Setup

To begin floor curling, find a smooth, flat surface such as a gym floor. Place your two target mats with the house (the rings) approximately 6.25 meters (20.5 feet) apart. Each mat should be slightly offset 6.25m (20.5’) to avoid standing on the mats when delivering the stones. The distance between mats can easily be adjusted to suit your group’s preferences.

Delivery of the Stones

Stones should be delivered from floor level by hand or via the use of a Pusher Stick for participants that cannot, or prefer not to, bend to floor level.

Playing

Teams determine who has the hammer (last stone) in the opening end by a coin toss. Having the last stone is an advantage. Stones are delivered in an alternating manner. Red, blue, red, blue, or vice versa, until all eight stones are played.

Once all eight stones are played an end is complete and scoring is tabulated. A floor curling game typically consists of eight ends but this can be adjusted to suit your group.

Scoring (same as on-ice curling)

The object of the game is to score more points than your opponent.

At the completion of each end, a team scores one point for each stone that is closer to the button (the center of the rings) than the closest stone to the button of the opposing team. Only stones that are in, or touching the rings when viewed from overhead, are eligible to score. Only one team can score per end.
