    Scoring is quite simple. An 'end' is over when each player (lead, second, third, skip) on both teams have thrown all of their stones (two each per player). A game is played for an even number of ends, usually eight, ten, or twelve. The goal of the game is to get your stone closest to the centre of the painted circles, called the 'house'. The team whose stone has come the closest to the centre of the house wins the end. All of their rocks that lie closer to the centre of the house than any of the rocks belonging to the opposing team earn one point each. It is possible for an end to finish with no stones in the house. It is theoretically possible for a team to score eight points in an end, but this almost never happens in practice. Scoring three or four points in an end is considered a high score. At the end of the game, the team with the highest number of points wins.
