2015 World Financial Group Continental Cup of Curling - Changes to format

2015 WFG Continental Cup of Curling

The format has changed starting with the 2015 World Financial Group Continental Cup of Curling being held from January 8 to 11 at the Markin MacPhail Centre International Arena in Calgary, Alberta.

Team North America has been replaced by an all-Canadian team entry. Team Canada will compete alternatively against Team Europe in odd years and Team World, made up of teams from the United States and non-European curling nations, in even years. In this edition of the Continental Cup, six teams from Canada will compete against six teams from Europe.

The same competition format as that of the previous year will be used. Out of the sixty total points available, a majority of points will be needed to win the cup. The mixed doubles, singles, and team games will be worth one point each, and ties will be worth one half point each to both teams. The skins games will be worth a total of five points. Six mixed doubles and six singles games will be played, along with eighteen team games and six skins games.
