Competition Host
In the early years of the competition, the winning team was asked to host the subsequent competition; by the mid 1990s, this had changed to an alternating scheme between Western and Eastern Canadian schools; the dividing line is the Manitoba-Ontario border. The competition usually runs from Wednesday to Sunday, over the first weekend in February.
