The 2008 Continental Cup of Curling was the 6th edition of this event and was held from December 18–21, 2008 at the EnCana Arena in Camrose, Alberta. It was the first edition of the Continental Cup in which teams outside of North America and Europe competed, due to the outstanding performance of the Chinese teams in the previous year's men's and women's world championships. To reflect the expanded participation, the team opposing North America was renamed from "Team Europe" to "Team World". The World Curling Federation named the six rinks representing Team World. The Canada Cup of Curling, Tournament of Hearts and Brier winners automatically qualify as the Canadian rinks in Team North America, while the American contingent in Team North America are represented by their men's and women's champions. The event was won by Team World by a score of 208-192, with the winning points scored in the fourth end in the men's featured skins game. The prize purse was $88,400 (CAD); each member of the winning team received $2000, while each member of the losing team received $1400. The Continental Divide, the entertainment centre, was located at the adjacent Border Paving Arena. The ice technician is Tim Yeo. ==Scoring== Each match is worth a different number of points, with a total of 400 available in the event. 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「2008 Continental Cup of Curling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
