The different rings actually do not have different points values. The rings as a whole are called the "house." Any rock that is touching or inside the house is eligible to score. When all the rocks have been thrown down the ice, whichever team has the rock closest to the center of the house (the tee) scores. The number of points they get depends on how many rocks they have that are closer than the opponent's closest (each rock counts for one point, no matter which ring it's in). So really, the rings are just there as a visual aid to help judge which rocks are closer and farther from the center.
