Canadian Olympic qualification process

Summarize
Perspective

For both men's and women's categories, a pool of sixteen teams is designated as eligible to be Canada's representative at the 2010 Olympics. From the pool of sixteen, four teams are selected to qualify directly for the 2009 Canadian Curling Trials, "The 2009 Roar of the Rings". The remaining twelve teams compete in a pre-trials tournament, which is a triple-knockout bonspiel, with four teams advancing to the eight-team trials. The winner of the trials represents Canada at the 2010 Olympics.[2]

Pool of sixteen

For each of the three curling seasons from 200607 to 200809, four teams are named to the pool of sixteen, resulting in a total of twelve teams in the pool by the end of the 200809 season. The four teams are the following:[3]

If a team qualifies under more than one criterion (for example, a team wins both the Canada Cup and is the leader in the CTRS standings) or has already qualified in a previous season, then the four spots for that season are rounded out by selecting the highest ranked teams in the season's CTRS standings that have not already qualified.[2]

To select the remaining four teams for the pool of sixteen, after the 20082009 season, from the teams that have not already qualified, the highest ranked teams are chosen, based on three-season, two-season, and one-season rankings. The rankings are determined by adding up the CTRS points earned by each team in their best events in each season.

If a team's membership changes from one season to another, the CTRS points earned by the team are divided amongst the individual players and allocated to their new teams.[4]

Direct qualifiers to the Olympic Trials

From the pool of sixteen, the first four teams who meet any one of the following criteria (in order of priority) will be qualified directly for the Canadian Olympic Trials.

  • team leads the CTRS standings in two of the three curling seasons from 200607 to 200809
  • team wins three of the following events in the seasons from 200607 to 200809:

  • team not yet qualified for the Olympic Trials with the highest CTRS point total from 200607 to 200809, using the same formula used to qualify teams to the pool of sixteen
  • team not yet qualified for the Olympic Trials with the highest CTRS point total from 200708 to 200809, using the same formula used to qualify teams to the pool of sixteen
