The 2015 Elite 10 was held from March 19 to 22 at the Suncor Community Leisure Centre at MacDonald Island Park in Fort McMurray, Alberta.

The Mike McEwen rink from Winnipeg won their fifth career Grand Slam title, defeating the Niklas Edin rink from Sweden in the final.

Competition format

The Elite 10 event features what is called a "match-play" format, in which the winning team of a particular game is the team that has won the most ends in that game. In match play, an end is won by stealing or scoring two with the hammer, similar to skins curling. Unlike skins, however, there are no carry-overs. Tied games will have a draw to the button competition to determine the winner. In the standings, wins are worth three points, draw to the button wins are worth two points, and draw to the button losses are worth one point.[1]
