The 2000 Scott Tournament of Hearts , the Canadian women's national curling championship, was held from February 19 to 27, 2000 at the CN Centre in Prince George, British Columbia .[ 2] The total attendance for the week was 54,778.[ 1]
Team British Columbia , who was skipped by Kelley Law won the event beating Ontario in the final 9–4. This was BC's eighth title overall and the sixth time a province has won a title on home soil. Law's rink became the first rink to win the championship as a fourth seed since the introduction of the Page playoff system in 1995 and also became the first rink since 1989 and fourth team ever to win a championship after having to win a tiebreaker game.[ 3]
Law's rink would go onto represent Canada at the 2000 Ford World Women's Curling Championship in Glasgow, Scotland , which they won. The national championship also qualified them for the 2001 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials in Regina, Saskatchewan , which they also won and got to represent Canada at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Ogden, Utah, United States .
