Best Answer

At the start of a game, last rock is awarded to either the winner of a coin-toss, a draw to the button or in competition, the team which is the top seed.

During a game, last rock is given to the team who has just been scored against. For example, Team A is playing Team B. Team A scores points in an end. In the next end, Team B gets to play last rock.

In curling what is the term used for the last rock thrown?

The last rock thrown in each end is called the "hammer." Having the hammer is an obvious advantage, since you have the "last say," so to speak, in that end. Whichever team does NOT score in an end inherits the hammer for the next end. At the beginning of a game, a coin flip determines what team gets the hammer for the first end.

What is the equipment called for curling?

"Curling shoes," one with a slippery Teflon slider built into the sole and the other with just grippy rubber on the bottom, are used to allow players to slide smoothly down the ice during their delivery (sliding) of the curling rock. "Curling brooms" or "curling brushes" are used to "sweep" the ice in front of the rock, decreasing the friction between the rock and the ice and making the rock go both farther, and curl (curve) less if so desired. Brooms are also used by most players during their delivery for balance. Many teams will use stop watches to time a rock between certain points on the ice, to get an idea of how fast the rock is moving.
