🖱️ AimMove the mouse to set the skip's broom — that's your target line.
🎛️ Handle sliderThe HANDLE slider under the power bar sets your spin: Low Spin = the rock turns slowly and curls a lot; Spinner = fast rotation that runs nearly straight; middle is a normal handle. Drag it before you throw.
⇄ TurnWhich way it curls is set by which side of centre you aim. Press R or tap FLIP to reverse the in/out turn.
💪 WeightHold the left mouse button; the meter sweeps up and down — release in the zone you want (GUARD / DRAW / HACK / TAKEOUT). Esc cancels.
🧹 SweepWhile the stone runs, hold the mouse or SPACE — sweeping carries it farther and holds the line.
👁 Skip ModeWASD walk · C crouch · left-click to sweep from the skip's-eye view.

📊 PLAYER STATS — what the numbers mean
OVROverall — the big number on the card: a curler's core skills rolled into one rating.
ACCAccuracy — how close their throws land to the broom and the called weight. Low ACC drifts off line and misses weight.
POWPower — throwing muscle. High POW reaches heavy takeout weight easily; low POW strains on the big hits.
CLUClutch — nerves under pressure. Keeps the accuracy up on last rocks and tight scores.
SWPSweeping — brushing effectiveness: how much extra distance and line-hold their sweeping gives a running stone.
FITFitness — strength & stamina. Burns ENERGY slower while sweeping and keeps their footing (fewer stumbles and falls).
ICEIce reading — how truthfully the H heat map shows the fast, worn paths. Weak readers get a blurry, offset map.
LCKLuck — the close calls: rubs, picks and measurements break their way a little more often.
ETQEtiquette — sportsmanship and composure; keeps the team's happiness from draining away.
⚡ EnergyDrains while sweeping; a tired curler brushes weaker until they get a rest between shots.
✚ InjuryKnocks and falls hurt (the stick figure shows where). An injured curler underperforms until it heals.
♥ BPMLive heart rate — it climbs with effort and pressure; a red-lined heart means shakier throws.
SHOOTING PCTRunning shot-quality percentage this game, with Hits and Draws counted beside it.
