The committee's selections were based on prior performance at World and National Championships, Order of Merit rankings, and performance in World Curling Tour events in the three years preceding the Trials (2011–2013). For the men's tournament, a maximum of five teams competed for the right to represent the United States at the qualification event for the Winter Olympics. The first and second placed teams from the 2012 National Championships and from the 2013 National Championships qualified directly for the Trials. If both of the directly qualifying teams from the 2013 National Championships already qualified via the 2012 National Championships, giving a total of two directly qualified teams, the HPP Selection Committee would select two additional teams to compete in the Trials, making a total of four teams. If one of the directly qualifying teams from the 2013 National Championships already qualified via the 2012 National Championships, giving a total of three directly qualified teams, the selection committee would select one additional team to compete in the Trials, making a total of four teams. However, if two or more American teams had placed within the top twenty of the Order of Merit, and if at least one of those two teams had not earned a qualification spot in the Trials, the selection committee would choose two additional teams, bringing the total to five teams. If none of the aforementioned scenarios applies, which would imply a total of four directly qualifying teams, the selection committee would choose one additional team to compete in the Trials, bringing the total to five teams. For the women's tournament, a total of four teams competed for the right to represent the United States at the Winter Olympics. The first and second placed teams from the 2012 National Championships qualified directly for the Trials, along with the first placed team from the 2013 National Championships. If the first placed team from the 2013 National Championships had already qualified for the Trials via the 2012 National Championships, the second placed team would qualify for the Trials. If the second place team from the 2013 National Championships had also already qualified for the Trials via the 2012 National Championships, the selection committee would select two additional teams to compete in the Trials. Otherwise, if there was a directly qualifying team from the 2013 National Championships, the selection committee would select one additional team to compete in the Trials.
