The teams were split into 3 round-robin pools of 5 teams each, and the top eight teams overall will qualify for the playoff round.
Teams from the Winnipeg area won both the men's and women's events, with Reid Carruthers winning his first slam as a skip on the men's side and Jennifer Jones winning her 12th slam on the women's side.
