Is it weird the season has just started and we’re already talking about the end of the season? Not really when the only way to secure a spot in that final event is to win.

Unlike the five other Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling tournaments that rely upon ranking points, the KIOTI Tractor Champions Cup requires teams to capture a title in order to get in. That includes the BOOST National, running Oct. 4-9, in North Bay, Ontario.

Reigning Princess Auto Players’ Championship winners Team Mouat and Team Hasselborg plus defending KIOTI Tractor Champions Cup champs Team Gushue and Team Einarson have already booked their spots, who will be next?
