Format of Play

In the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics, there will be two tournaments and two sets of medals awarded for each tournament. There will be a mixed team curling tournament and a mixed NOC doubles curling tournament.

Mixed Team Curling

The mixed team curling teams will consist of two boys and two girls from the same NOC/country.

The sixteen qualified teams will compete in two divisions of round robin play. The top four teams from each group will advance to the quarterfinals, where the teams will play a single knockout tournament to determine the winner.[1]

Mixed NOC Doubles Curling

The mixed NOC doubles curling teams will consist of one boy and one girl from different NOCs. The purpose of mixed-NOCs in mixed doubles is to encourage an international sense of community.

The mixed doubles competition will take place after the mixed team competition; the same athletes competing in the mixed event will compete in the mixed doubles event. The mixed doubles teams will be selected by the organizing committee based on the final ranking from the mixed team competition. The resulting 32 teams will play a single knockout round to determine the winner.[1]

Mixed Team

Qualification summary

To qualify, countries gain points at the European Junior Curling Challenge, Pacific Junior Curling Championships, and the 2011 World Junior Curling Championships.[2] The NOC then determines the composition of the mixed team, which will consist of two junior women and two junior men curlers.

*The North American and South American teams are qualified automatically by virtue of their affiliation with the World Curling Federation, since the number of qualification spots equals the number of nations affilated with the WCF.[3]
**The Asian teams are qualified as no more than three nations affiliated in the region chose to participate.[3]
^1 Brazil declined the invitation to the Winter Youth Olympics, so Italy were invited to replace Brazil, per Italy's World Curling Ranking.
