Sport | Curling |
The 2015β16 curling season began in August 2015 and ended in May 2016.
The season was marked by new innovations in curling broom technology that drastically changed how sweeping was done, leading to the " broomgate" scandal. It forced the major curling bodies to make new rules after the season to regulate and standardize curling brushes. [1]
Note: In events with two genders, the men's tournament winners will be listed before the women's tournament winners.
This section lists events sanctioned by and/or conducted by Curling Canada (formerly the Canadian Curling Association). The following events in bold have been confirmed by Curling Canada as are part of the 2015β16 Season of Champions programme.
Note: Events that have not been placed on the CCA's list of sanctioned events are listed here. If an event is listed on the CCA's final list for the 2015β16 curling season, it will be moved up to the "CCA-sanctioned events" section.
