The **Red Deer Curling Classic** is an annual [bonspiel](/source/Bonspiel), or [curling](/source/Curling) tournament, that takes place at the [Red Deer Curling Club](/source/Red_Deer_Curling_Club) in [Red Deer, Alberta](/source/Red_Deer%2C_Alberta). The tournament is held in a triple-knockout format. The men's tournament started in 1992 as a [skins](/source/Skins_game#curling) tournament.[1] 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](/source/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](/source/Canadian_Team_Ranking_System), which hands out points based on performances at CTRS events and deals with qualification to the [Canadian Olympic Curling Trials](/source/Canadian_Olympic_Curling_Trials).

The 2018 edition of the event made headlines for the ejection of Team [Jamie Koe](/source/Jamie_Koe) for "unacceptable behaviour", which included arriving to compete while clearly intoxicated.[2]
