Qualification process

The Champions Cup will involve 15 men's and 15 women's winners on the Pinty's GSOC season plus champions from select events, including the Tim Hortons Brier, Scotties Tournament of Hearts, World/Regional Championships, and other highly ranked competitive events on the World Curling Tour.

The winning teams at the events listed below will receive invites to the Champions Cup. For Men's Qualifying, the top 3 ranked WCT event winners will be invited. For Women's Qualifying the top 4 ranked WCT event winners will be invited.

In the event a team wins more than one qualifying event (e.g. Team A wins the Masters and Canadian Open or wins multiple events including other WCT events), the winner of the next highest ranked World Curling Tour event based on Strength of Field Multiplier (SFM), that has not qualified through another path, will be invited to complete the 15-team lineup.

[Teams listed below under WCT Event will be updated as necessary/weekly based on qualifiers from other events and WCT events yet to be played that may have higher SFM ratings]
