About Wheelchair Curling
The World Wheelchair Curling Championship is a ten-team tournament. Two teams play against each other at the same time and each team must be comprised of women and men. The game is played on ice, and the two teams take turns pushing a 19.1-kilogram stone towards a series of concentric rings or circles. All players must deliver the stone from a stationary wheelchair which is positioned so that the stone is delivered from the centre line. The delivery of the stone may be undertaken by the conventional arm/hand release or by the use of a delivery stick. No sweeping is permitted. The object is to get the stones as close to the centre of the rings as possible.
