The Grand Slam of Curling is pleased to partner with events that have built strong reputations for delivering high-quality competitions, with established prize purses and strong organizational support. In addition, to create opportunities for teams around the world to compete in Satellite Events, partners were also selected with geographic diversity in mind.
GSOC will award an invitation to a Grand Slam event to the winner of each Satellite Event. If the winning team has already qualified for the Slam, the invitation will pass to the runner-up or the highest-placed semifinalist in the world rankings.
If all finalists and semifinalists have already qualified, the invitation will be offered to the highest-placed quarterfinalist in the world rankings, provided the team holds a world ranking of No. 32 or higher after points gained from the event are added.
If no team from the playoff round meets these criteria, the invitation will revert to the GSOC Competition Committee, which will select a team to receive the entry.
Playoff teams also receive points toward qualification for the GSOC Players' Cup (Dec. 15-20; Kingston, Ontario).
Check out our 2026-27 season F.A.Q. for more details.
