Star-studded teams prepare for final stop of Mixed Doubles Super Series campaign

Some of the biggest names in curling are preparing for the final stop of the inaugural Mixed Doubles Super Series season in what promises to be a riveting four days of competition in Brantford, Ont.

Throughout the fall teams from across Canada and around the world have competed in four events, trying to find their way to the top of the mixed doubles rankings.

Organizers Wayne Tuck, who will be playing in the final event with his wife Kim, and Jay Allen created the newly formed series to allow mixed doubles players greater opportunities to earn money and valuable points in the rankings.

"We've had countless conversations with the athletes, all of them have carried the same message to both Wayne and myself. This super series is exactly the platform needed for us as a nation to get our athletes back to the podium in Milano, Italy," Allen told CBC Sports.

CBC Sports will be streaming games Saturday and Sunday leading to the championship game. That Curling Show will be live every day of the competition, beginning Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. ET and going all the way to Sunday evening to wrap up the event.

The first draw of the competition begins Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. ET.

However, Allen says the curlers have bought in and he feels this is a springboard for future super series.

"The curlers have been incredibly supportive and patient as we go through some obvious growing pains but we're adding two more venues for a total of seven next season, and this will help further enhance our athletes
