How many stone things do they get? No rules? I could google but I want to see if the average person understands this sport!

Not the average person? :p

Every time I think "ooh good shot!" the commentators come out with "another mistake there!"... what?! *sigh*

Crown Green and Chess... On Ice...

You need to plan your team mates shots a couple of stones in advance... You need to make your shot count... And you need to make sure that, if your oponents have the last shot, they cannot blast all your team's stones out of the target zone....

I think it's fascinating... But as usual the BBC has moved it to their 'kin red button with one end to go...!!!

It's interesting but have had to Google the rules and YouTube was a great help.

Every team gets 8 stone's, they take turns in going first, (to have the last stone is important) you need to be the closes to the centre to get a point, and for every stone closer to the centre than your opponents stones you get a point as long as its in the circle,

They play 10 ends highest score takes the game
