 Brier
A Dominion championship competition for men's CURLING was inaugurated in 1927, sponsored by the W.D. Macdonald Company for a trophy known as the Macdonald Brier Tankard.
The 1995 Brier adopted a new playoff format - the Page Playoff system wherein, after round robin play, the 1st and 2nd place teams meet in one game, the 3rd and 4th in another.
The Brier has changed title sponsorship several times in its over 75-year history: the tobacco company, MacDonald, held title sponsorship for over 50 years from 1927 to 1980; Labatt brewery assumed the role from 1980 - 2000; Nokia Canada was the sponsor from 2001-2004; and Tim Hortons became the current sponsor in 2004.
