- Results at Manitoba Cup events 1,2,3 and the Provincial Championships (2010). Results at National Championships (2010) and Western Canadian Championships(2010) may be used if insufficient events are held in Manitoba. Any other National level event (e.g. Noram Cups,) may be considered at the discretion of the selection committee should more information be required.
- Best 3 of 5 events – 1 must be the Provincials.
