DRAWS EIGHT TEAMS TO COMPETE FOR GOLD

The teams with the highest number of points in each division will meet for the State Championship on May 24.
Currently, the team skipped by Anne Wiggins, originally from Westport, CT, leads the Palmetto Division with three points by virtue of having no losses

We have been very successful so far.” Foster’s team is the only team in the Championship without a loss or tie.

Curling is an ancient Scottish sport played on ice where each member of a four-person team “shoots” 42-pound granite stones across the ice toward a target. The team’s objective is to position as many of its stones closer to the target than its opponent’s nearest stone during each “end” to earn points. The winner agen slot mudah menang is the team that has the most points at the game’s conclusion. Curling is a sport of honor, tradition, and integrity that requires both physical dexterity and complex decision-making. It made its official debut as a medal sport in the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano Japan.
