Mixed Doubles Players' Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mixed Doubles Players' Championship, also known as the Mixed Doubles Super Series Burford Heating and Curling Players Championship is an annual mixed doubles curling tournament on the Mixed Doubles Super Series curling tour. It is held annually at the Brant Curling Club in Brantford, Ontario.[1]

The purse for the event is $20,000, and has attracted teams from across Canada and the world.[1]

The event has been held since the 2022–23 season, the first season of the Mixed Doubles Super Series.[1] The event acts as the series' championship, and is the final event of series. In 2022, the event was known as the Eppic Ale Players Championship,[2] and was streamed on CBC's website and on CBC Gem.[3] The first event was held using a triple knockout format.[3] The event is organized by Wayne Tuck Jr. and Jay Allen.[4] It idea behind the Super Series was to help mixed doubles teams in Canada in their road to qualifying for the 2026 Winter Olympics.[3]

Prior to the Super Series, a Mixed Doubles Players' Championship was held at the Leduc Recreation Centre in Leduc, Alberta in March 2022.[5] CurlingZone considers it to be the same event.
