2024-25 Alberta Curling Tour
The 2023-24 Alberta Curling Tour features 11 men’s events, 9 women’s events, 3 mixed doubles events, 8 Under-20 events, 6 Under-18 events, and 8 Under-15 events. All events on the Alberta Curling Tour this season are eligible for Alberta Curling Tour Points: a point system used to qualify teams for the Men’s, Women’s, Mixed Doubles, Under-20, and Under-18 Provincial Championships.
An updated points system will be released to include all divisions. Teams are only required to register for the U15, U18, and U20 categories. To register for one of these categories, click HERE
How do the Alberta Curling Tour Points work?
For the men’s, women’s, and mixed doubles categories, once a team has competed in an Alberta Curling Tour event, their roster will be automatically added to the Alberta Curling Tour Points list. For the U-20, U-18, and U-15 categories, teams must register for the Alberta Curling Tour in order to be listed on the Alberta Curling Tour standings.
The Alberta Curling Tour Points list will be restricted to teams within Alberta. Prior to the men’s, women’s, mixed doubles, U-20, and U-18 provincial qualifying events, top Alberta-based teams on tour will earn direct berths into the provincial championships.

Curling Alberta is excited to continue the Alberta Curling Tour for the 2024-25 curling season! Our tour coordinates a schedule of men’s, women’s, mixed doubles, U20, U18, and U15 events within Curling Alberta’s borders.
The Alberta Curling Tour has been created for three main purposes:
1. To Establish Consistent Event Standards
– requiring all events to meet our minimum requirements in order to be included on our tour
– increasing parity among the categories, giving a reason for teams to compete within Alberta
2. To Create a Consistent Event Schedule
– creating a schedule of events that will remain consistent from year to year, allowing curling clubs and teams ample opportunity to plan their season
3. To Improve the Quality of Curling in Alberta
– The Alberta Curling Tour keeps curlers in our province competing within our province. With high quality events in Alberta, the Alberta Curling Tour brings teams from outside our borders to Alberta, and keeps Albertans curling in Alberta.
