1. Tournaments: Create tournaments where your final position is awarded with rankingpoints the higher you end up. Also punishment by losing in rank for those who end up in the last places. 2. Tie ranking to whole games, not ends: Ranking points should only be awarded if u win a game - this system should rid the game of all the losers who run away as soon they have scored a point, or the cowards who jump the game before the last stone is played. 3. Set games: Players should be able to decide on how many ends should be played before the game starts. If u leave the game without recognising defeat u should be penalized by a big ranking deduction. Also one should be awarded extra ranking points for winning 2 or more games in a row. This should encourage high ranked players to play low ranked players more often. 4. Sweep all stones: One should be able to sweep all own stones all over the ice and all the opponents stones behind teeline. 5. More realistic movement of stones: Some movements of stones are not realistic. For example the hitting stones position after a hit. They continue to glide for a while after for example a nose hit. Weird. 6. More effect from brushing: Full brush on a draw to tee should get the stone to back line, realisticly. Also brushing should prolong the line of curl if you start brushing close to when the stone stops. 7. More weight: One should be able to throw stones with more weight. 8. Games with more than one player: Why not give players the option to form teams of 2 or 4 players to meet other teams. Each player can play 2 or 4 stones in each end. Create a special room where players can meet up and form teams.

Don;t agree with your 1st point - Why should someone be punished when they try their best.
Your point about punishing people for leaving early before the end I TOTALLY agree with
Agree with the Set # of ends - that way if the person does leave he/she will get penalized for leaving
Sweeping - Totally agree - but you can sweep your opponents stones behind the tee when they throw it
Like the idea about having teams - but that would be difficult because the stupid ads freeze up - or at least they did me before I bought a subscription OVERALL GREAT POINT AND TOPIC
The point of punishing people who end up in last places is just the one you want to achieve - to make everyone try their best. If you dont have punishments you soon are gonna find people working together to promote one player just to gain as much ranking as they can on him and then finding a way to "spread the wealth" through other games. Get my point? Also entering a tournament shold be the same as entering a single game. If u lose the game u lose in ranking - if you lose the tournament u lose in ranking. It shold be a bit of a gamble to enter the tournament. The proportion of punishment in relation to the award you can get for first place shold be somewhere around 1 to 10. High gain, lower loss.

I bet the never change anything for this game... and that we are all just wasting our time.
Trop souvent, quand un joueur perd et qu'il n'a pas le "hammer", il quitte le jeu AVANT que son adversaire ne joue sa dernière pierre et ne marque 1 point supplémentaire ! IL FAUT PÉNALISER LES NOMBREUX JOUEURS QUI QUITTENT LE JEU AVANT LA FIN DU "END" en cour. Sorry for my english... Many players, when he loose, stop the game before the end ! If I have the "hammer", impossible, per exemple, to play ma last stone ! He is urgent to penelise this players !
the throwing rock after it hits at full speed moves ahead. broom can only move so far outside.
