The All-American has been sponsored by The USWCA since 1966. The All-American is an inner-club event held during the curling season by member clubs throughout the United States. The USWCA provides beautiful All-American pins to each member club for their event.
This event was designed to encourage the involvement of women - especially new and less experienced women curlers - so they may have a bonspiel experience within their own clubs and to foster a greater awareness of women's curling and the role of the USWCA.
Hopefully our USWCA members have the All-American on their club calendar. If it isn't in place, now is the time to work this event into your club's schedule. Encourage your ladies to be a part of this very special 'spiel. If your women's membership numbers are low, consider joining with another USWCA member club to meet the eligibility requirements.
Consider giving your event a true bonspiel atmosphere, with good food, decorations, prizes and a fun time, ending with awarding the All-American pins to the winning team. The All-American bonspiel is a wonderful in-club event with a national flavor because clubs all over the country are holding the same event on home ice.
To clubs who have not joined the USWCA consider becoming a part of our organization in order to be involved in many of our rewarding aspects as well as becoming eligible to participate in our All-American, Senior and National Bonspiels.
Be sure to join your club's All-American this season. If you have any questions or are interested in learning more about holding an All-American event at your club, contact Judi Page (see member directory).

There are three important aspects for hosting an All- American event:
The application form
gives us notice that your club plans to hold the event. It is imperative to apply early in the curling season to ensure we have pins available for distribution to all the winning teams. You may download the application form, print and mail to the Chair (as listed in the USWCA Directory) - or the USWCA Representative may hand deliver the form at the USWCA Fall Meeting and take possession of the pins at that time.
The
results form needs to be returned immediately following the event. This will ensure that all winning teams are submitted to The
United States Curling News for publication.
The
regulations document explains Eligibility, Procedure, Rules of Play and Awards. |
