Canadian men's curling championship
The 1931 Macdonald Brier , the Canadian men's national curling championship, was held from March 3 to 5, 1931 at the Granite Club in Toronto, Ontario .[ 1]
Team Manitoba , skipped by Bob Gourley , captured the Brier Tankard with a round robin record of 8-1. This was Manitoba's fourth consecutive Brier championship. A tiebreaker game was played to determine the runner-up as both Ontario and Toronto finished the round robin with 6-3 records. Ontario defeated Toronto in an extra end 13-12 to finish runner-up.
This was the last Brier to feature Montreal and Toronto as their own teams.
The 1931 Brier was one of only two Briers (the other being 1932 ) to feature no ends that were blanked.[ 2]
The teams are listed as follows:[ 3]
