Eight-ender

An eight-ender, also called a snowman, is a perfect score within a single end of curling. In an end, both sides throw eight rocks, and in an eight-ender, all eight rocks from one team score points. Eight-enders are extremely rare in competitive curling and are analogous to a perfect game in baseball, a perfect game in bowling (300) or a nine-dart finish in darts. Eight-enders are so rare that the Canadian Curling Association has an award to recognize any eight-ender scored in Canada. In 2007 Asham Curling Supplies awarded an $8000 prize randomly to one of the 145 teams that registered an eight-ender in the 2005–06 curling season.
