FORMAT
The Co-op Canadian Open features 16 men’s teams and 16 women’s teams.
Both divisions are split up into four pools of four teams for round-robin play. Teams will play three games against teams within their pool plus one crossover game based on seeding.
The top eight teams advance to the playoffs. If necessary, a tiebreaker draw will determine the final playoff spots.
QUALIFICATION
The top 16 men’s and top 16 women’s teams based on the World Curling Federation’s world team ranking system as of Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2024, will receive invitations.
If a team in the top 16 declines their invitation, the next team on the WCF rankings will be invited until the field is complete.
The Grand Slam of Curling reserves the right to implement a sponsor’s exemption in both the men’s and women’s divisions in which one spot could be filled at their discretion.
