The 2023 Stu Sells Tankard was held from October 5 to 9 at the Barrie Curling Club in Barrie, Ontario.^[1] The event was held in a round-robin format with a purse of $30,000 on the men's side and $21,000 on the women's side.^[2]^[3] It was the second Stu Sells sponsored event held as part of the 2023–24 season.^[4]

In the men's final, Japan's Yusuke Morozumi led his team of Yuta Matsumura, Ryotaro Shukuya, Masaki Iwai and Kosuke Morozumi to a triumphant 8–2 victory over South Korea's Jeong Byeong-jin. Morozumi opened the game with a count of five in the opening end. Jeong replied with two in the second before the Japanese answered back with three in third to bring the game to an early close. The Morozumi rink finished 3–1 through the round robin and scored playoff wins over Marco Hösli and Mike Fournier to reach the final. Team Jeong also went 3–1 in the preliminary round before knocking off fellow Korean rivals Park Jong-duk in the quarterfinals and Owen Purcell in the semis. Sam Mooibroek and Jayden King also qualified for the final eight but lost in the quarters.

South Korea's Kim Eun-jung took the women's title, counting two in the eighth end to win 6–5 over Japan's Sayaka Yoshimura rink, led by Yuna Kotani, in the final. The 2018 Olympic silver medalists took control of the game with a deuce in the fourth end but a strong seventh by Yoshimura gave them a one point edge coming home. In the eighth, Kim narrowly got by the two guards on her final takeout attempt to count two and secure the team's first tour title of the season. The Korean team, with Eun-jung, Kim Kyeong-ae, Kim Cho-hi, Kim Seon-yeong and Kim Yeong-mi went 3–1 in the round robin before knocking off both Wang Rui and Han Yu of China in the quarters and semis respectively. Team Yoshimura also went 3–1 and then beat Susan Froud and Lauren Mann. Ikue Kitazawa and Krysta Burns rounded out the playoff field.
