As previously announced, the Grand Slam of Curling is teaming up with established curling tour events worldwide to provide teams with more avenues to earn their way into the GSOC via a new Satellite Events partnership.
Under this new format, each Satellite Event champion will earn an automatic berth into one of the first four Grand Slam of Curling events of the season.
