The Grand Slam of Curling staged a first-of-its-kind online draft Tuesday as the top four teams picked their opponents for their pools in the upcoming WFG Masters.
The top four in the men’s and women’s divisions selected their pool opponents via snake order from the list of invited teams.
Each team will play four round-robin games: three against the teams within their pool plus one crossover game. The No. 1-ranked teams also selected their crossover pool.
The WFG Masters is the fourth Grand Slam of Curling event of the season and runs Jan. 14-19, 2025, at the Sleeman Centre in Guelph, Ont.
With the pools set, the full draw schedule will be released in the near future.
