2013 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships


The 2013 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships took place from November 11 to 19 at the Fei Yang Skating Centre in Shanghai, China. South Korea were the women's champions, their second title after winning the 2010 Pacific Curling Championships, while China won the men's tournament, extending their winning streak to seven years. The championships served as the Pacific zone qualifiers for the World Curling Championships. The top two women's teams, China and South Korea, qualified for the 2014 Ford World Women's Curling Championship in Saint John, New Brunswick. As the 2014 World Men's Curling Championship will be hosted in Beijing, China, with the hosts as automatic qualifiers, Japan was the single men's team that advanced to the World Championship.

Competition format

The men's tournament had six teams competing, while the women's tournament had five teams, with both tournaments utilizing a double round robin format. At the conclusion of the round robin tournaments, the top four men's and women's teams played in the semifinals. The semifinal rounds will be best-of-five series, with the two games that the teams played in the round robin counted as the first and second games in the best-of-five series. The medal round, as in previous years, consisted of single games.
