| Current= 2016 Scotties Tournament of Hearts }} The Scotties Tournament of Hearts (''(フランス語:Le Tournoi des Cœurs Scotties)'') is an annual Canadian women's curling championship, sanctioned by the Canadian Curling Association. The winner goes on to represent Canada at the women's world curling championships. Since 1985, the winner also gets to return to the following year's tournament as "Team Canada". It is formally known as the ''Canadian Women's Curling Championship''. Since 1982, the tournament has been sponsored by Kruger Products, which was formally known as Scott Paper Limited when it was a Canadian subsidiary of Scott Paper Company. As such, the tournament was formerly known as the Scott Tournament of Hearts; when Kimberly-Clark merged with Scott, the Canadian arm was sold to the Quebec-based Kruger Inc.while Kruger was granted a license to use several Scott brands in Canada until June 2007, it was given a long-term license to the Scotties brand because Kimberly-Clark already owned Kleenex. As such, the tournament was officially renamed the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in 2007. The format is a round robin of 12 teams. As of the 2015 Scotties Tournament of Hearts there have been more than 12 eligible teams; therefore a pre-qualification tournament is now held each year to trim the field to twelve. At the end of the round-robin, playoffs occur to determine the championship winner. The system used is known as the page playoff system. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scotties Tournament of Hearts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
