TheElite 10 (branded as thePrincess Auto Elite 10 for sponsorship reasons) was acurlingbonspiel, held as part of theGrand Slam of Curling series. First held in the2014–15 curling season, it was played between ten top-ranked teams, and utilized amatch play system.[1]
The event was dropped from the Grand Slam calendar for the2019–20 curling season.[2]
Instead of normal curling scoring rules, the Elite 10 used amatch 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 toskins 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.[3]
