Qualification

[edit]

The top 14 men's and women's teams on the World Curling Tour order of merit standing as of September 19, 2017, qualified for the event, along with the winners of the 2017 GSOC Tour Challenge Tier 2 event (Jason Gunnlaugson and Kerri Einarson respectively). One team, the Steffen Walstad rink from Norway declined their invitation and were replaced with the next best team on the WCT OOM ranking (Pat Simmons).[1]
