From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Stu Sells Oakville Tankard (also known as the OCT Championships ) is an annual bonspiel on the men's and women's Ontario Curling Tour . Except for in 2020, the event has been held at the Oakville Curling Club in Oakville, Ontario . The event was formerly just on the Ontario Curling Tour , but it was promoted as a World Curling Tour event in 2013 when Stu Sells became the sponsor.
As of 2023, the purse for the event is $30,000 for the men's and women's events. A Tier 2 men's event was added in 2016 (but was discontinued), with a total purse of $16,000.
In 2020, the event was held at the KW Granite Club in Waterloo, Ontario , due to the COVID-19 pandemic delaying the opening of the Oakville Curling Club. That year, the men's event was halted before the playoffs, as one player was notified through a COVID Alert tracing app that he had come in contact with someone who had the virus.[ 1] The women's playoff was held, however, as the men's and women's teams did not play at the same time.[ 2]
The event was postponed and eventually cancelled in 2022 to avoid conflicting with the 2022 PointsBet Invitational .[ 3]
