The Road to the Brier and Scotties: Tournament Format
This year’s championships introduce a refined competition format developed by a Working Group of current and former athletes, coaches, hosts and Curling Ontario staff — informed by competitor feedback and stakeholder survey data. Key elements include:
- Field size & entry: Eight teams per division, with five teams earning direct entry based on CTRS season-long performance.
- Full Round Robin: Every team plays a predictable, fan- and broadcaster-friendly schedule that delivers more head‑to‑head competition.
- Playoffs: Single tie‑breaker draw, followed by semi‑finals and a final to determine the champions.
