Software Curling Curling is a precision team sport similar to bowls or bocce, played on a rectangular sheet of prepared ice by two teams of four players each, using heavy polished granite stones which they slide down the ice towards a target area called the house. Points are scored for the number of stones that a team has closer to the center of the target than the closest of the other team's stones. The level of precision and complex nature of the strategic thinking required to win has led curling to be referred to as "chess on ice." Origins and history The game is thought to be invented in late medieval Scotland, with the first written reference to a contest using stones on ice coming from the records of Paisley Abbey, Renfrew, in February, 1541. Two paintings (both dated 1565 []) by Pieter Brueghel the Elder depict Dutch peasants curling (Scotland and the Low Countries had strong trading and cultural links during this period, which is also evident in the history of golf). The word curling first appears in print in 1220 in Perth, Scotland, in the preface and the verses of a poem by Henry Adamson. The game was (and still is, in Scotland) also known as "the roaring game" because of the sound the stones make while traveling over the pebble (droplets of water applied to the playing surface). The word derives from the Scots language verb curr [1] which describes a low rumble (a cognate of the English language verb purr). The word does not take its name from the motion of the stones, which due to their deviation from a straight-line trajectory are said to curl.

Curling History History of Curling Curling started as winter amusement for farmers on the frozen lakes an rivers in Scotland in the 1600's. Using the smooth rocks found in the river beds, these curlers cast their rocks at targets several feet away along the frozen, windswept ice surface. Although records are sketchy, the first organized curling club seems to have been established at Lochleven in Scotland in 1668. Subsequently several clubs were formed and friendly rivalries began. But it wasn't until much later that some semblance of uniformity was achieved when a set of 12 rules were published. The British military brought curling to Lower and Upper Canada during the 1700's. Scottish regiments participating in the battle for Quebec City melted down cannon balls to use on the St. Lawrence River.The first organized club was the Royal Montreal Club in 1807. Since then, curling spread west, across Canada and into the northern United States, where it is played in most communities as a winter pastime. Curling is now played during the winter months from October to April at various levels. Thousands of recreational leagues are organized across Canada allowing the young and the old to enjoy spirited competition within social surroundings. For the more competitive juniors, men and women, there are events that lead to provincial, national, and international champion ships, which are viewed by hundred of thousands of people on television around the world.
