Curling rocks are numbered differently to designate their ownership and to distinguish between the two teams in a match. Each team has a set of eight rocks, with one team using even-numbered rocks and the other using odd-numbered rocks. This numbering system helps avoid confusion during play, especially when rocks are in motion or when assessing scoring. Additionally, the different colors of the rocks further aid in identifying which team is playing each stone.
