Qualification for the 2012 United States Men's Curling Championship will take place in two rounds in January at various locations throughout the nation. The number of entrants to the national championships will be cut down to ten or eleven teams through a playdown system of regional qualifiers and a challenge round.
Qualification System
As with last year, teams can qualify for the men's nationals either by qualifying automatically as one of the top two teams on the World Curling Tour Order of Merit, by qualifying through a regional qualifier, or by qualifying through the challenge round. The two teams that qualified automatically to the championships were chosen based on the Order of Merit upon the conclusion of the Curl Mesabi Cash Spiel.[1] This year, the teams are those skipped by Tyler George and Craig Brown.[2] The other eight spots in the nationals will be awarded as follows: five will be awarded to the top finishers in the regional qualifiers, and three will be awarded to the top finishers in the challenge round.[1]
The qualification rounds will all be held with the double knockout provision in place. The double knockout provision states that a team is eliminated from qualifying for the nationals if the team has at least two losses in their win-loss record. If there are teams with less than two losses, they will play each other until the number of teams still able to qualify matches the number of qualification spots available.
Regional Qualifiers
The qualifiers will be held from January 4 to 8 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Seattle, Washington, Grand Forks, North Dakota, and Laurel, Maryland, given that at least five teams sign up at each qualifier. If there are less than five teams signed up at any site, the qualifier at that site will be cancelled, and teams can either be moved to an alternate site or cancel their registration. Qualifiers with more than ten teams will be held in a knockout format, and qualifiers with less than ten teams will be held in a round robin format. Each qualifier site is awarded one or more qualification spots to the nationals based on the strength of field at each qualifier site.[1] The strength of field of each team will be calculated using Order of Merit points, past participation in national championships and world championships, and the final rank at past national championships. In total, five teams will qualify from the four regional qualifiers, and eight teams will move from the qualifiers to the challenge round.
Challenge Round
The top eight finishers from the regional qualifiers that did not qualify for the nationals will be invited to play in the challenge round, which will be held from January 19 to 22 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Two other teams that have not been qualified to either the nationals or the challenge round will then be invited based on their Order of Merit points. If a team qualifying to the challenge round through a regional qualifier declines its invitation, the spot will be filled based on the Order of Merit. A maximum of ten teams can play at the challenge round.[1] The number of teams invited from each qualifier will be determined using the strength of field system. The challenge round will be played in a round robin format. At the conclusion of the round robin, the top three teams will be chosen to qualify to the nationals.
Regional Qualifiers
All four qualifiers are tentatively set to be held at their respective locations from January 4 to 8. A total of 39 teams are registered to participate in the regional qualifiers. Of these teams, a maximum of three teams will qualify directly to the nationals without participation in the qualifying rounds. The rink skipped by Pete Fenson will not have to participate in the qualifiers due to their participation on behalf of the United States at the 2012 USA-Brazil Challenge. A maximum of two teams besides Fenson's team will qualify directly to the nationals by virtue of their Order of Merit rankings. If Fenson is one of the top two ranked Order of Merit teams, there will only be one other team qualifying directly to the nationals via Order of Merit, but if Fenson is not one of the top two ranked Order of Merit teams, the top two ranked teams will qualify directly to the nationals.
