Get ready for a stone-cold epic showdown that’s about to rock the Tahoe Blue Event Center! The Grand Slam of Curling is sliding into town, bringing international curling talent that’s gonna make your weekend way more exciting than another Netflix marathon.

From November 4-9, 16 men’s and 16 women’s teams from around the globe will battle it out on the ice, transforming our local venue into a high-stakes curling arena. And we’re not just talking your average weekend warriors, this tournament features some serious sports royalty.

Star Power on Ice

Forget traditional sports lineups, this roster reads like an all-star fantasy draft. NFL legend Jared Allen is teaming up with Olympic gold medalist John Morris and world champion Wayne Middaugh. It’s basically the Avengers of curling, minus the superhero costumes (though we’re totally here for that).

Tournament Breakdown

The preliminary rounds kick off and run through Friday evening, with the top eight teams punching their ticket to the playoffs. Saturday morning might include a nail-biting tiebreaker round, setting the stage for quarterfinals and semifinals. By Sunday, we’ll crown our champions in both men’s and women’s divisions.
