Pomeroy Inn & Suites Prairie Showdown
Appearance
The Pomeroy Inn & Suites Prairie Showdown is an annual bonspiel, or curling tournament, that takes place at the Grande Prairie Curling Club in Grande Prairie, Alberta. The bonspiel is played in a triple knockout format. The bonspiel was started in 2012 as part of the World Curling Tour.
The event was created in order to address the relative lack of events in the World Curling Tour in the weeks leading up to the Players' Championship. Teams are invited to participate in the bonspiel based on certain qualifications. On both the men's and women's sides, teams are chosen from the Peace Region, the rest of Alberta, from a sponsor's exemption, and from the World Curling Tour's Order of Merit.[1]
