2015 United States Men's Curling Championship

The United States Men's Curling Championship is the annual men's national curling championship for the United States. It acts as a qualifier for the World Men's Curling Championships. Ten teams play in each championship. Two spots are awarded to participants in the "High Performance Program", a National program that supports Top United States curlers, and is intended to prepare them for Olympic level play. Two additional spots are given to the two highest ranked United States teams on the Curling order of Merit (that aren't already qualified via the HPP). The remaining six positions are determined by an Open Tournament, called the Challenge Round, open to all United States curlers, where the final six teams from this triple elimination tournament get spots in the National tournament.
