Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Only one user delivers at a time, while their teammates and opponents stand to the side. The rinks are 6 feet wide making it easy to know how far apart players are. Street Curling is a safe and accessible social distancing game

To prevent cross-contamination, it is recommended each player use a pusher stick to deliver the stones if they are not from the same household. If two players are playing 1-vs-1, pusher sticks are not needed.

Absolutely! Simply wipe down/disinfect the stone handles, pusher sticks, and stone retrieval mop after each game so that they are ready for the next group to use.

Street Curling™ stones slide like a real curling stone! This provides an authentic curling experience, and the stones repeatedly and consistently perform the way you want them to. Rolling stones break down faster and decelerate at different rates.

The WCF is the official international governing body of the Olympic sport of curling. Their goal is to facilitate the global growth of curling through their 57 (and growing) member associations. Street Curling™ is the ONLY iceless rink in the world endorsed by the WCF, and Rock Solid Productions Inc is the Official Development Partner of the WCF.

They should! It is essentially what curling is all about. If the stones aren’t curling then you’re basically playing shuffleboard. Our new Street Curling™ rinks provide a realistic curling experience with stones curling around other stones just like the real thing!

The only way to get a true curling experience is to deliver a stone that looks like the real thing. Our Street Curling™ stones look authentic and are shaped like the real thing, just scaled down proportionately for a more enjoyable playing experience.

The panels are self-lubricating, meaning no messy lubricants are needed. Street Curling rinks require no additional maintenance other than a clean surface. Debris would impede the path of the stones which would decrease accuracy. Just like any floor, a simple sweep and spot clean is all that is needed!

You only need a few feet of space on the delivering end(s) of a Street Curling rink and enough room on one side of the rink to retrieve stones. Space is only needed on one side of the rink, allowing the rink to be pushed up against a wall if required. We recommend a minimum of 4 feet on the delivering end(s) and 2 feet on the side(s).

Street Curling Pro and Classic rinks can be used in all temperatures and weather conditions. Street Curling Pro and Classic rinks are perfect for every location from the snowy north to the sunny south. Street Curling Pro and Classic rinks are UV protected and will not fade.

Is The Rink Slippery? Can You Walk On It? The rink is not slippery, however you should not walk on it to protect the surface. You can stand on the first small panel of the surface to deliver the stones, but users should not walk along the surface of the rink. The surface can get slippery if wet. Staying off of the surface also helps keep it clean.

We have a lightweight telescopic stone retriever available for purchase that can easily collect stones while standing on the end or sides of the rink. This also helps keep the surface clean, and can be branded!

Purchasing a Street Curling Rink is just the first step! Your rep will work with you to develop a full business plan on how to operate and manage the rink, including suggestions on what to charge and how to organize Bonspiels (tournaments in Curling lingo)!

Flip a coin with the loser shooting first. Take turns sliding your stones down the ice until all stones have been delivered.

After flipping a coin to see who goes first, the loser picks their color and shoots first, with the winner of the flip getting last stone.

With one foot on the ice, use a small backswing and release the stone as it touches the ice in the forward motion. Make sure the stone is touching the ice upon release and do not deliver or drop the stone from above the ice.

After all stones have been delivered, the team with the stone closest to the center of the rings scores one point for every stone closer to the center than their opponents closest stone.

A stone is out of play if it hits the sides or the far end. Remove the stone from play and put any stones it touched after hitting the sides back to their original position.

If no stones are touching the house at the completion of an end, no points are scored. The team who had the last stone keeps it in the next end.

Sweeping isn’t needed on Street Curling rinks, but you can still yell sweeping instructions like “Hurry Hard!” and “Whoa!”

Yes! We invite you to create your own house rules. Do not use ricochet shots off the side as they will damage the equipment.

It doesn’t matter what you wear, you’ll always look good while Street Curling!

We have special pusher sticks available. These sticks are telescoping and they fit over the handle of the stones allowing the user to deliver the stones from a standing or sitting position.
