The 2022 SGI Canada Best of the West was held from April 22 to 24 at the Nutana Curling Club in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.[1][2] The newly created event consisted of teams with all players thirty years and younger. It was played between the four provinces of Western Canada, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. All provinces were represented by two teams in each of the three disciplines, men's, women's and doubles.[3]

Format[edit]

The Best of the West U30 Championship was played in a round-robin tournament with two pools of four in each of the three disciplines, men's, women's and doubles. The top two teams in each pool at the conclusion of the three game round robin advanced to the semifinal round, with the winners then moving on to the championship game.[4]
