Qualification process
Twelve teams qualified for the provincial tournament through several methods. The qualification process is as follows:
| Qualification method | Berths | Qualifying team |
|---|---|---|
| Defending champions1 | N/A1 | |
| Highest-ranked team on CTRS | 1 | Charley Thomas |
| Next-ranked team on CTRS not already qualified1 | 1 | Brendan Bottcher |
| Alberta Curling Federation bonspiel points | 2 | Mick Lizmore Ted Appelman |
| Peace Curling Association qualifier (Jan. 6–8) | 2 | Roland Robinson Graham Powell |
| Northern Alberta Curling Association qualifier (Jan. 19–22) | 3 | Thomas Scoffin Jamie King James Pahl |
| Southern Alberta Curling Association qualifier (Jan. 20–23) | 3 | Josh Lameden Aaron Sluchniski Jeremy Harty |
- Notes
- ^ The defending champion usually receives the first berth, however the defending champion from 2016, Kevin Koe, won the 2016 Tim Hortons Brier and therefore entered the 2017 Brier as Team Canada, negating any need for him to compete in the Boston Pizza Cup. In addition, 2015 Brier champion Pat Simmons, who had competed as Team Canada in 2015 and 2016 with the team Koe won the 2014 Boston Pizza Cup and Brier titles with, would also have been eligible for direct entry into the 2017 Boston Pizza Cup as a past provincial/national champion. However, Simmons' team disbanded after the 2015-16 curling season and forfeited their berth. Had Koe and Simmons both entered the 2017 Boston Pizza Cup, only one team would have qualified via the ACF bonspiel route. Instead, the next-ranked team on the CTRS was granted automatic entry.

gollark: Bold of you to assume they work.
gollark: Just use another computer.
gollark: It might be able to host a fileshare but it probably has terrible outdated software.
gollark: Why would you use the *router* for this?
gollark: It has much better compression ratios *and* speed than gzip. Shame it's not adopted for HTTP.
