Playoffs

The Brier uses the page playoff system, where the top four teams with the best records at the end of round-robin play meet in the playoff rounds. The first and second place teams play each other, with the winner advancing directly to the final. The winner of the other page playoff game between the third and fourth place teams plays the loser of the first/second playoff game in the semi-final. The winner of the semi-final moves on to the final.

Normally the 3 versus 4 page playoff game is played before the 1 versus 2 playoff game on Friday. However, since a tiebreaker was played this year on the same day to decide fourth place, the 1 versus 2 game was played first.

Page playoffs

Game one of the page playoffs was between Mark Dacey's team from Nova Scotia (first overall) versus Randy Ferbey's team from Alberta (second overall).

Friday, March 12, 1:30 pm

Game two of the page playoffs was between Brad Gushue's team from Newfoundland and Labrador (third overall) versus Jay Peachey's team from British Columbia (fourth overall).

Friday, March 12, 6:30 pm

Semifinal

The semifinal was played between Mark Dacey's team from Nova Scotia and Jay Peachey's team from British Columbia.

Saturday, March 13, 1:00 pm

Final

The final was played and televised on the CBC across Canada. Ferbey led 8–4 after the 7th end but Dacey's team put themselves back into the game with a big 3 point 8th end. Forcing Alberta to take a single in the 9th, Dacey was 2 down coming home but had last rock advantage. A couple of errors by Ferbey's team and some good shot making, gave Nova Scotia 3 points in the 10th end and the championship.
