Published
With the field for the 2025 Scotties Tournament of Hearts now complete, Curling Canada announced the official pools and schedule on Monday.
The 18-team field will be split into two pools of nine where an eight-game round-robin will take place.
The top three teams from each pool will advance to a six-team playoff as the first-place team from Pool A will take on the second-place team from Pool B, and vice versa. The winners will advance to the 1 vs. 2-page playoff while the losers meet the third-place finishers in the pools. Those games will serve as a qualifier for the 3 vs. 4-page playoff game.
The national championship takes place at Fort William Gardens in Thunder Bay from Feb. 14-23.
The winning rink will represent Canada at the 2025 World Women's Curling Championship in in Uijeongbu, South Korea from March 15-23.
