The National, currently referred to as the KIOTI National for sponsorship reasons, is a curling tournament that is one of the five events that are part of the Grand Slam of Curling tour, and one of its four "majors".

[1] Beginning in 2022, the event features 16 men's and 16 women's teams.

The top 16 (or 15 if there's a sponsors exemption) teams on the World Curling Federation's Order of Merit qualify.

In some cases a "sponsors exemption" is permitted, in which a local team is picked to compete.
