2020 Korean Curling Championships


The 2020 Korean Curling Championships, Korea's national curling championships, were held from November 19 to 24 at the Gangneung Curling Centre in Gangneung, South Korea. The winning teams on both the men's and women's sides became the Korean National Teams for the 2020–21 [curling season]. They represented Korea at the 2021 World Men's Curling Championship and the 2021 World Women's Curling Championship. Both the men's and women's events were played in a round robin format which qualified four teams for the playoffs.
The 2020 championship was originally scheduled to be held from May 18 to July 7. The format was to follow the same three round selection process as the 2017 Olympic Trials as the winners were to represent Korea at the 2021 Asian Winter Games before the event got cancelled. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and positive tests, the championship was pushed back to September 7 to 24. The scheduled was shortened to just one round, with a best-of-five final between the top two teams. However, due to the Korean Curling Federation being disciplined for fraudulent recruitment and improper use of funds, the championship was postponed once again. Following a board meeting, the event was finally decided for November 19 to 24, however, with no crowds due to the pandemic. The event was held in a single round robin with a page playoff to determine the winner.
