The '''Red Deer Curling Classic''' is an annual [[bonspiel]], or [[curling]] tournament, that takes place at the [[Red Deer Curling Club]] in [[Red Deer, Alberta]]. The tournament is held in a triple-knockout format. The men's tournament started in 1992 as a [[Skins game#curling|skins]] tournament.<ref>{{cite news|title=Lukowich confirms Skins game entry|date=October 8, 1992|newspaper=Red Deer Advocate|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/64295725/red-deer-advocate/|access-date=November 29, 2020}}</ref> The women's tournament started in 1999 as a separate event held a few weeks earlier and merged with the men's event in 2007. The event was held as a [[World Curling Tour]] event until 2019 and has been held nearly every year since 2007. Curlers from Alberta have dominated the event on both sides since its inception. The event counts toward the [[Canadian Team Ranking System]], which hands out points based on performances at CTRS events and deals with qualification to the [[Canadian Olympic Curling Trials]].
The 2018 edition of the event made headlines for the ejection of Team [[Jamie Koe]] for "unacceptable behaviour", which included arriving to compete while clearly intoxicated.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2018/11/19/extremely-drunk-canadian-curling-team-gets-banned-tour-event/| title = ‘Extremely drunk’ Canadian curling team gets banned from tour event - The Washington Post}}</ref>
