COMPETITION FORMAT
The game will be played in teams of four (all of which should be SEND) with an optional 5 th
substitute
Kurling is played on a badminton sized court with each player delivering stones
corresponding to their team colour (red or blue) towards a target at the opposite end
of the court
The distance between the delivery line and the target can be adapted to suit the space
available.
Teams take it in turns to deliver the first stone of an end and then alternate between
colours. An end is completed when all eight stones have been played.
Stones can be propelled using any part of the body or using a pusher, providing that
the player is behind the delivery line on releasing the stone.
Pupils can be seated or standing to propel the stone as long as they are behind the
delivery line.
The number of ends played is determined by the amount of time available.
After all ends have been completed, the winning side is the team with the higher
accumulative score from all ends.
SCORING
Points are scored by awarding one point for every stone of the same colour which is
on the target & closer to the centre than the nearest opposing coloured stone.
At the completion of four/six ends, the points on each end are added together and the
team with the highest total score wins.
