The Dominion Curling Club Championships
Encyclopedia
The Dominion Curling Club Championship is an annual curling
tournament held in Canada. The tournament features the top "club level" curlers from every province and territory in Canada, plus Northern Ontario.
The first event was held in 2009. Each province and territory holds a series of playdowns where only one team per curling club is allowed an entry. Each curling club selects their teams independently with many choosing their respective club champions.
The event features only "club level" curlers. This means that top curling teams are barred from entry. Teams can only have one player who has played in a provincial men's, women's or seniors event that season or the previous season or in a Capital One Grand Slam of Curling
event that year or in the previous year.
The event is sponsored by the The Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company.
