Boston Pizza Cup
The Boston Pizza Cup is the Alberta provincial championship for men's curling. The winner represents Team Alberta at the Tim Hortons Brier. Previously, the Alberta Kia Cup and the Safeway Select. Listed below are the provincial champion skips for each year. Alberta did not participate in the 1927 Brier.
Qualification
In the current format, twelve teams compete in the provincial tournament. The following teams qualify:
- The defending champion automatically qualifies. If for whatever reason he does not enter the championship (as was the case with Kevin Martin in 2010) the runner-up enters in his place;
- The top Albertan team as determined by the Canadian Team Ranking System qualifies - if this team is the defending champion then the next ranked team qualifies;
- The two teams with the most Alberta Tour points not already qualified also qualify;
- The remaining eight spots are determined through the "traditional" route, that is, through zone and district playdowns. Two teams qualify from the Peace Country and three each from the Northern and Southern sections.
