2018 Elite 10 (March)

Instead of normal curling scoring rules, the Elite 10 uses a match play system in which scoring is based on ends won, rather than rocks scored. An end is won by stealing or scoring two with the hammer, similar to skins curling. Unlike skins, however, there are no carry-overs. In the event of a tie, a draw to the button competition is held to determine the winner. In the standings, wins are worth three points, draw to the button wins are worth two points, and draw to the button losses are worth one point.^[1]

The top 10 teams in the World Curling Tour's year-to-date rankings as of February 5, 2018, were invited to compete in the Elite 10. If any teams declined, the next-highest team was invited until the field of 10 teams was complete.^[2]
