2012 Continental Cup of Curling
The 2012 World Financial Group Continental Cup of Curling will be held from January 12 to 15 at the Langley Events Centre in Langley, British Columbia.[1] Just like last year's event, the Continental Cup will feature team events, mixed doubles events, singles competitions, and skins competitions, and the brunt of the points will be won in the skins competitions.[2] Team World is aiming to level the field after Team North America won the previous cup, bringing the overall total to 4–3 in favor of North America.
The winning team will receive a purse of CAD$52,000, CAD$2,000 per player, and the losing team will receive a purse of CAD$26,000, CAD$1,000 per player. The winning team of the last men's skin game (the Men's Skins C game) will receive a bonus of CAD$13,000.[3] TSN will broadcast the event, as it has in previous years.[3]
Teams
The teams were selected from the top teams in each region. Six teams from each region will compete against each other in the competition. Teams from Canada get to represent North America by virtue of winning certain events, such as the Tim Hortons Brier and the Canada Cup of Curling. The teams from the United States are chosen by the United States Curling Association to represent North America, and the teams representing Team World are selected by the World Curling Federation.
The following teams have been announced as representatives of their respective regions:[3][4]
For Team North America, the teams participating include Canada Cup champions Stefanie Lawton and Glenn Howard, Tournament of Hearts champion Amber Holland, Brier champion Jeff Stoughton, and the United States men's and women's champions Pete Fenson and Patti Lank. For Team World, the teams participating include world champion Anette Norberg, former world champion Wang Bingyu, world junior champion Eve Muirhead, world bronze medalist Niklas Edin, world silver medalist Tom Brewster, and Olympic silver medalist Thomas Ulsrud.
