Qualification process

edit

The qualification process for the 2017 Olympic trials differed slightly from the process used at the 2013 trials. For both the men's and women's categories, a pool of twenty-one teams is designated as eligible to represent Canada at the 2018 Olympics, based on rankings from the Canadian Team Ranking System (CTRS). From the pool of twenty-one, seven teams were selected to qualify directly for the 2017 Canadian Curling Trials in December. The remaining fourteen teams competed in a pre-trials tournament, and the top two teams qualified for the nine-team trials. The winner of each trials will represent Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics.[4]

Nine teams qualify for the Olympic Trials based on the following criteria.[4] These are the final berths as decided on May 2, 2017

Qualification method Qualifying team Scenario if team has already qualified
Winner of 2015 Canada Cup   Kevin Koe None (first qualifier)

Notes

edit
  1. ^ a b c Ryan Harnden threw second stones and Peter Steski threw lead stones during Draw 19.
  2. ^ a b Jim Cotter threw fourth stones during Draws 16, 18 & 19.
  3. ^ a b Rick Sawatsky threw lead stones during Draw 19.
  4. ^ a b Nicholas Connolly threw second stones for the last round robin game and playoffs due to Brandon Klassen falling ill.[3]
  5. ^ a b c d Must medal at Worlds. If that criterion is not met, the berth will go to the highest team not yet qualified from that season's CTRS standings. Jennifer Jones replaced Chelsea Carey's berth as the 2016 Scotties winner due to this clause.[5]
