New Restrictions for the 2021 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship

Before the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020, there was already a plan to narrow the field of competition at the World Mixed Doubles. According to the World Curling Federation (WCF), last year’s tournament in Kelowna, Canada was supposed to debut the 20-nation field. For the majority of the 13-year history of the World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, any Member Associations could enter. In 2019 entries were limited to 48 Member Associations.

While the number of teams has been changed, the competition format remains the same, utilizing group-play. The 20 teams have been divided into two groups, Group A and Group B, each containing 10 teams.
