Notes

  1. Kelsey Rocque, who normally skips the team was unable to make it to the grand slam. Third Laura Crocker moved up to skip and Kendra Lilly spared at third.[6]
  2. Weagle normally throws lead stones and Courtney normally throws second stones, but they entered the Players' Championship switching positions. They switched back to their regular positions after their second game.[7]
