Alberta’s Brendan Bottcher and Manitoba’s Matt Dunstone have direct entries into next year’s Brier in Regina.
The pair join defending champion Brad Gushue as skips that are going to avoid the playdown process and head straight into the field for Canada’s men’s curling championship.
Gushue beat Dunstone in last year’s final in London, Ont., with Bottcher losing to Dunstone in the semifinal.
A fourth pre-qualified team — based on 2023-24 rankings — will join the three early entries and the 14 provincial/territorial champions at the Brier.
Jennifer Jones, Rachel Homan and four-time defending Scotties Tournament of Hearts champion Kerri Einarson have already earned byes to the 2024 event in Calgary.
