Canadian Olympic Curling Trials

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Canadian Olympic Curling Trials occur every four years, in the year preceding the Winter Olympic games. They are held to determine the men's and women's representative at the following Olympics. The system of qualification for the Curling Trials varies for each event, and can be quite complicated.
