and"brooms," this high-tech feature certainly stands out — but those lights are actually very important to ensuring fair and accurate game play.of curling, as set by the World Curling Federation, those lights are known as electronic hog line devices. Their job is simple. They ensure, with electronic precision, that the stone was released before crossing the hog line: the red line on the ice marking the point where teams must release the stones or incur a penalty.
The throwing player has some leeway about where along the ice sheet they send their stone hurtling towards the house, but the hog line is the"point of no return" — throw the stone by then, or there's a penalty awaiting you and your team., a heat sensor is the most important part of the device. The sensor is embedded in the sheet of ice, and it's triggered if the athlete's hand is still holding onto the handle of the stone when it crosses the hog line.
