Husband and wife duo Peter and Maureen Stolt were the first to clinch one of the available berths when they defeated Taylor Anderson and Derrick McLean in the 'A' bracket final.[8][9] Anderson and McLean then dropped down to the 'B' bracket final where they had another opportunity to earn one of the final two berths, which they did when they defeated Ann Podoll and Nathan Parry.[10] Losing the 'B' bracket final knocked Podoll and Parry down to the 'C' bracket semifinals. Podoll and Parry made it through their semifinal match to face Clare Moores and Lance Wheeler in the 'C' bracket final.[11] Tied at 7-7 after eight ends, Moores and Wheeler scored one in the extra end to secure the final team slot at the Mixed Doubles Championship.[12]
