New Age Kurling
What is new age kurling?
Each team has a set number of stones and take it in turns to slide a stone towards the target. Each game is completed when all of the stones have been used, with a match traditionally made up of four or more ends.
The team which has their stone closest to the centre of the target at the completion of the end receives one point, with an additional point for each stone closer than their opponent’s nearest stone. Scoring is cumulative and is calculated over the full game.
Equipment needed
- Kurling stones
- Cones, skittles, or markers for goal posts
- Kurling targets
- Kurling ramp
- Adjustable pusher
- Indoor court space (e.g. half a badminton court)
