Format
The HearingLife Tour Challenge features a total of 32 men’s teams and 32 women’s teams.
Both men’s and women’s divisions are split into two tiers with 16 teams each for triple knockout play. Teams must win three games before they lose three games to qualify for the playoffs. Eight teams advance to the quarterfinals.
Qualification
Tier 1: The top 16 men’s and top 16 women’s teams from the WCF world rankings based on the final standings of the 2023-24 season will be invited to participate.
In the event an invitation is declined, the next ranked team on the WCF rankings list will be invited until the field is complete.
Tier 2: Once the Tier 1 field has been confirmed, Tier 2 invites will be sent out to the teams ranked 17–32.
The winners of the Tier 2 will earn invitations to the WFG Masters event in January 2025, and receive $5,000 to cover the costs of travel and accommodation. The winning team’s entry fee will also be waived.
The Grand Slam of Curling reserves the right to implement a sponsor’s exemption in both the men’s and women’s events in which one spot can be filled at their discretion.
