A revised version of the World Curling Tour's Order of Merit ranking system, allowing the many new teams for the 2018–19 curling season to carry over points individual players earned on their former teams, as of May 1, 2018, was used to qualify the first six teams. However, due to a virtual tie, a seventh women's teams was invited using this method. Team Flaxey qualified as the top-ranking non-qualified team on the Canadian Team Ranking System as of November 11, 2018.[3][4] Team Tracy Fleury had qualified for the event, but had to decline as they were representing Canada at the Second Leg of the 2018–19 Curling World Cup.
