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 event and $21,000 for the 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 .
