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.

  • 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. The eight-ender in team curling is analogous to the six-ender in mixed doubles curling, as there is a total of six rocks in play per team instead of eight. There has never been an eight-ender in Olympic competition, the closest being a 'seven-ender' scored by Great Britain's Eve Muirhead at the 2014 Winter Olympics, in a 12–3 round-robin stage victory over the United States. In mixed doubles curling, the maximum score of six has been achieved at the Olympics, with Switzerland's Jenny Perret and Martin Rios doing so against the United States in the last end of their 9–4 round-robin win at the 2018 Winter Olympics. Eight enders have never been scored at the Brier or Tournament of Hearts either, and was first scored at the World Curling Championships in 2021 by Switzerland. (en)
