Notes

  1. ^ Spot was initially given to Team Chelsea Carey, however, the team disbanded during the 2024–25 season. The spot was then given to Team Kerri Einarson, the next highest ranked team on the CTRS standings.[3]
  2. ^ Spot was initially give to Team Reid Carruthers, however, they withdrew from the pre-trials due to Carruthers' coaching commitments with Team Kerri Einarson. They were replaced with Team Jayden King, the top-ranked men's team in the CTRS yet to qualify.[5]
