When stones are played into a house with stones lying it is important that the sweepers go all the way up the ice and anticipate any stones leaving the rink so that they stop it in time. This leaves the skip able to concentrate on getting the best result in the house without worrying about stones interrupting play on other sheets. It is not good to see skips sweeping stones while other stones leave the rink unattended. Accidents are possible and disrupted houses in adjacent rinks would also be unwelcome. I'm sure I would not be happy if a stone from another sheet hit any stones in play on my own sheet.
