The cost to submit your Circuit Bonspiel application is $100 ($75 between May 1 and Sept 30). If you are registering as an Individual, please click here.
Why should our club’s women’s spiel be part of the Circuit?
-
Increased advertising for the bonspiel on the USWCA Website and potentially if joining early enough on the Circuit’s additional publicity
-
Increased participation in your club’s event. Bonspiels participating in The Circuit have seen an increase in the number of teams and in returning teams.
-
Curlers can get points in any participating bonspiel from across the USWCA, though the points go toward the position in their own region. This encourages teams to travel outside of their local club area.
- You are encouraging and promoting women's curling in the United States. Bonspiels are fun and curlers who participate in them tend to remain active curlers and recruit others. Grow the sport!
How much does participation cost? What is the fee for participation?
-
The cost to the club is $100 per bonspiel. If you register between May 1 and September 30 of the current calendar year, your fee will be discounted by $25; you pay $75. If this is the first year for your Circuit Bonspiel, you pay $75 regardless of the date submitted. (If this is your first year and you pay online using PayPal, you will be charged $100 from October 1 through April 30. Ask for a refund of $25 from the Circuit Chair via email Shannon@norfolkcurlinglclub.org.)
-
The fees will go to the prize pool. Over 90% of all fees from both the participants and the clubs will go directly to the prize pool. There will be a prize pool in each participating USWCA area. If there are not enough participating bonspiels and or curlers in an area, areas will be combined.
How will participation in the Circuit change our spiel?
-
Except for anticipated increases in teams and increasing the competition, the Circuit will have no impact on your club’s spiel. We will not have an impact on how you run your event. (Rules, events, timing). We only require that teams from other clubs be allowed to participate in your spiel and that you provide the requested information below.
What does our club need to do? Two Simple things.
First sign up: Simply fill out the online registration form in the right side bar of this page and make the payment by credit card through PayPal. This is the fastest and most accurate way to get your Bonspiel registered. Also please email a PDF of your bonspiel's flyer USWCA webmaster at uswca.webmaster@gmail.com.
Second: Once the event is completed, we will ask for the results that impact USWCA Curling Circuit participants. We will strive to make this as easy as an email or bonspiel program listing all teams and a completed copy of the draw. Send results to Shannon@norfolkcurlinglcub.org
Can we sign up our open Spiel if the participants play on an all women’s team?
No, sorry. We are concentrating on increasing the competitiveness and participation in women’s spiel. This will be re-evaluated at the end of each season
When do we sign up?
The sooner the better. We will want to be able to let all of our curling participants know your bonspiel is part of the USWCA Curling Circuit. We will get your information on our website and Facebook group. If you decide late in the season to become part of the USWCA Curling Circuit, we will be glad to accept the spiel.
Can our club’s spiel be part of the USWCA Curling Circuit if we are not a member of the USWCA?
No, the USWCA Circuit is only open to USWCA Members and Member Clubs but we will be glad to help you join our organization. Please go to the Becoming a Member page for more information.
