"a Sports t lems with the playing sUfface and equipment only cause minor irritation, But, in curl. ing, the strategy of the game is determined-by the types of shdfs that are possible om the particular sheet of icé, and with the given stones. In the early part of a games, it is important to see as mich of the sheet as pos- sible. A skip should call lead's and second's shots using different turns and ice; watching how the stones react each timé. Draws should be called with the skip standing at the Tee line, so they can mentally “mark” each spot, and all the infor- mation on how thé rocks ishould Be mremeriice ee uture. use, The diftioutt Ay in the ice, “runs” and- “falls”, can be caused cither by the amount Of play in that area, or by players shoes and brooms, Thus, it is possible to estimate where the prob- lem might occur, Often the centre line has runs (low spots running the length of the ice) on either side of it, dug to the numerous times players shoes slide up and down during both delivery and sweeping. Because the sides of the sheet see less usage, they often stay frosti- er, and thus rocks have a ten- dency to fall or at least run Straight, Dealing with these spots in the ice becomies easier with more skipping experience. At the beginning of the game, avoid calling shots that must cross the centre, just in case there are runs next to the line. Generally until you see a few shots, call more ice for draws moving towards the sides than to the centre. Once you find where the ice has DID YOU KNOW?
