  • Both finalists reached the title game undefeated at 4-0 after leading their respective pools through round-robin play.
  • The men's championship match is set between Matt Dunstone and Brad Jacobs after semifinal wins over Mike McEwen 9-3 and John Epping 8-5.
  • Organizers used the same stones and arena-style ice planned for the Nov. 22–30 Olympic trials in Halifax to provide high-quality preparation.
  • Each 10-team field was split into two pools with only pool winners advancing to the finals, and the event offered a $300,000 purse.
