Changes to championship format

edit

For the 2011–12 season, the British Columbia Curling Association made changes to the men's championship format. The tournament will be held in a triple knockout format with sixteen teams, and the qualifiers will play in a four team page playoff. This will allow an additional six teams to compete, compared to the ten team round-robin system used in the 2010–11 season. Teams will qualify for the championship through the following berth allocations:[1]

  • Defending Champion
  • Top C.T.R.S Men's Team as of December 1, 2011
  • 4 Qualifications from Open Event Qualification #1
  • 4 Qualifications from Open Event Qualification #2
  • 3 Qualifications from Open Event Qualification #3
  • 3 Qualifications from Open Event Qualification #4
