Red Deer Curling Classic

The Red Deer Curling Classic (formerly the Meyers Norris Penny Men's Cashspiel and the The Community Savings Ladies Classic[1]) is an annual bonspiel, or curling tournament, that takes place at the Red Deer Curling Centre in Red Deer, Alberta. The tournament is held in a triple-knockout format. The men's tournament, started in 1998, and the women's tournament, started in 2004, are both part of the World Curling Tour and have both been held every year since. Curlers from Alberta have dominated the event on both sides since its inception. The event counts toward the Canadian Team Ranking System, which hands out points based on performances at CTRS events and deals with qualification to the Canadian Olympic Curling Trials.
