An end is complete when all eight rocks from each team have been delivered, a total of sixteen stones. The sensor is in the handle of the stone and will indicate whether the stone was released before the near hog line. In Darvel, East Ayrshire, the weavers relaxed by playing curling matches using the heavy stone weights from the looms' warp beams, fitted with a detachable handle for the purpose. This method of play was altered by restricting the area in which a stone was protected to the free guard zone only for the first four rocks thrown and adopted as a four-rock free guard zone rule for international competition shortly after.A key part of the preparation of the playing surface is the spraying of water droplets onto the ice, which form pebble on freezing. The lights on the stone handle will either light up green, indicating that the stone has been legally thrown, or red, in which case the illegally thrown stone will be immediately pulled from play instead of waiting for the stone to come to rest. There are specialized devices to make these determinations, but these cannot be brought out until after an end is completed.

Takeouts are intended to remove stones from play and include the peel, hit-and-roll, and double shots.
