Qualification

Qualification to the curling tournaments at the Winter Olympics will be determined through two methods. Nations may qualify teams by earning qualification points from performances at the 2012 and 2013 World Curling Championships. Nations may also qualify teams through an Olympic qualification event to be held in the fall of 2013. Seven nations will qualify teams via World Championship qualification points, while two nations will qualify through the qualification event. As host nation, Russia will qualify teams automatically, thus making a total of ten teams per gender in the curling tournaments.[4]
