So in the 6th end, with Homan's first skips rock, she came around the guard and hit Jones stone. I saw Jones doing something that I thought was not allowed. Have I been wrong all along? Her stone was stationary, and she started sweeping her stone, so that once it started to move, the ice was already swept to allow for more movement. I thought the rule was that you could not sweep a stationary stone, that you had to wait for it to move first, and then you could sweep the moving stone. Please help me learn the rule here as I am a newish inexperienced skip.

Team Manitoba is looking real solid. It's a question of whether the best QB can beat the better team at this point. So far MB is totally in control

Nice job on TSN with setting up the long term rivalry between the two. The only monkey wrench is how good Sweeting is.

Brutal miss. Failed to remember the 'crispiness' is gone.

As far as the competitive side of the curling is concerned, "Don't worry about it." is the correct answer. The only way you can distinguish yourself on this question is by trying to call someone on it. Nobody at the competitive level cares. And for good reason. The difference is so minuscule as to not worry about it.

Not easy if she makes it she deserves the win.

I understand the difference is miniscule, maybe 1/8 of an inch. But my question is about the rules, and what is the rule. I don't care who wins, and i don't want to call anyone out, just learn.

Re Sweeping Question

send me an email and I will ensure you get the correct answer to your question. Curling is nothing if it is not FOI.

Women's curling is more interesting cause there is a limit to there 'rocket' speed.

The woman's game has become more interesting because of its lesser perfection.

I've got JB on ignore, but the site still informs me of new posts. Is there a way to remedy this?

How many times out are teams allowed? Seems like Richard Hart has made more appearances than coaches in prior years?
