2015 Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Trials

The Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Trials are the national curling championships for mixed doubles curling in Canada. The trials will decide the team that will represent Canada at the same year's World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship.[1] The team representing Canada was previously decided through a playoff between two teams formed from the winners of the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship earlier in the season.[2]

Format and qualification

The trials will consist of thirty-two teams participating in a preliminary round robin and a single-knockout playoff. Each of the provincial and territorial curling associations will be allotted one entry into the trials, while the winning team at the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship will be allotted two entries into the trials. The remaining sixteen entries will be filled via open invitations, but if the number of open invitation entries exceeds sixteen, teams will be allotted entries based on their rankings on the Canadian Team Rankings System.[1]
