As in previous years, four teams will play two semifinals games, and the winners of the semifinals games will meet in the final to determine the winner. However, the teams will be chosen by fan voting and by random draw, similar to All-Star games in other sports. The top ten teams in the Canadian Curling Association's rankings system in the previous year are nominated, and the top four fan voting selections for each position (skip, third, second, lead) will play in the competition. The skips will each randomly draw their third, second, and lead from the top four selections, and the four All-Star teams will compete against each other.
