TCA Challenge
The Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling and Princess Auto are running a challenge within Toronto Curling Association clubs as to who can sell the most tickets for the 2020 Princess Auto Players’ Championship in April. Each TCA club will be given a unique code to use when buying tickets online. TCA clubs will be divided into 5 groups based on membership numbers. The top 5 clubs (one from each membership grouping) with the most ticket sales will be given the opportunity to play one of their club finals on Grand Slam arena ice at Mattamy Athletic Centre in Toronto following the Friday night draw of the Princess Auto Players’ Championship.
