# 2013 The Dominion All-Star Curling Skins Game

The 2013 Dominion All-Star Curling Skins Game was held from January 19 to 20 at the Casino Rama Entertainment Centre in Rama, Ontario. The total purse for the event was CAD$100,000.

## Competition format

As in previous years, four teams will play two semifinals games, and the winners of the semifinals games will meet in the final to determine the winner. However, the teams will be chosen by fan voting and by random draw, similar to All-Star games in other sports. The top ten teams in the Canadian Curling Association's rankings system in the previous year are nominated, and the top four fan voting selections for each position (skip, third, second, lead) will play in the competition. The skips will each randomly draw their third, second, and lead from the top four selections, and the four All-Star teams will compete against each other.

## Teams

The teams were determined by a random draw in Toronto on January 17. The players that competed are listed as follows, ordered by number of votes earned:
| Position | Name | Votes Earned |
| Skip | Glenn Howard | 24,284 |
| Skip | Jeff Stoughton | 23,684 |
| Skip | Kevin Martin | 22,596 |
