About championships

Curling competitions feature three events, and mixed curling, also known as coed curling (the sport of curling played by men and women together), is one of them. Games in mixed curling are usually played up to a maximum of eight ends (a division of the game).

A mixed gender team consists of two male and two female players. No substitute athletes are permitted. During the game, delivery rotation must alternate between each gender and the skip (the player who directs play for the team) and vice-skip (the third player on a team to throw two stones in each end) must be from the opposite sex.
