Notes

1. 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.
