Qualification process
The qualification process for the 2013 Olympic trials differed slightly from the process used at the 2009 trials. For both the men's and women's categories, a pool of eighteen teams is designated as eligible to represent Canada at the 2014 Olympics, based on rankings from the Canadian Team Ranking System (CTRS). From the pool of eighteen, six teams are selected to qualify directly for the 2013 Canadian Curling Trials in December. The remaining twelve teams will compete in a pre-trials tournament, and the top two teams will qualify for the eight-team trials. The winner of each trials will represent Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics.
Six teams qualified directly into the Olympic Trials based on the following criteria:
