However, the teams will be chosen by fan voting and by random draw, similar to All-Star games in other sports.

[1] The top ten teams in the Canadian Curling Association's rankings system in the previous year are nominated, and the top four fan voting selections for each position (skip, third, second, lead) will play in the competition.

The skips will each randomly draw their third, second, and lead from the top four selections, and the four All-Star teams will compete against each other.

A donation was made to the Sandra Schmirler Foundation on behalf of Pat Simmons, who was selected last among the players.

[7] Jeff Stoughton, who had last pick in the draft, was given the choice of picking his opponent in the semifinal, and Stoughton chose to play Team Kevin Koe in the first semifinal.
