The rings at each end of the rink are called the "House".
Each ring has its own name too, referring to its width - the 12-foot, 8-foot, and 4-foot. At the center of the rings is a round circle called the "Button," and the point at the very center is called the pin.
One team scores in each end--the team with a rock closest to the pin. One point is scored for each rock the scoring team has in the house (or touching any part of it) that is closer than the other team's closest rock. For example, imagine that the red ream has four rocks in the 12-foot (the outmost ring) and yellow team has one rock on in the 4-foot and one rock in the 8-foot. Yellow scores two points, because they have the closest rock to the pin, and both of their two rocks are closer than the red team's nearest rock.
The rings are not like Archery rings, where which ring you're in determines points values. They are simply there as a visual aid to help players judge which rocks are closer to the pin than others, which is all that matters for scoring. If it is difficult to tell which of two rocks is closer, a special measuring tool can be used to provide a ruling.
When the last rock has been thrown in an end, the "thirds" on each team agree on the score, then clear the rocks from the house.
If no team scores, it's called a "blank end."
"Shot rock" is the term for the rock that is currently the closest to the center (the "pin") of the scoring area (the "house").
its called the end zone
The circular scoring area in curling is called the "house". The outer, middle, and inner rings have diameters of 12 feet, 8 feet, and 4 feet, respectively. This is why you will often hear curlers refer to the "12-foot", "8-foot", and "4-foot" rings when discussing rock placement.
The pin is the very center of the ringed scoring area, the "house." There is usually a hold drilled in the ice at the pin, for the distance measuring tool to be inserted into.
It is called curling , the curling ROCK and you throw it at HOUSES the end of the curling rink
