Charlotte Curling Club Team Entry Rules
-
Any team with two or more Charlotte Curling members is considered a club team.
-
Four club team slots are being held and participating teams will be selected by lottery.
-
The Bonspiel Chair gives her reserved team slot to the Ice Makers. This will NOT be considered a club team in the lottery, but rather an additional club team allowed to participate in the bonspiel.
-
One club team slot will be reserved for a five and under club team, which will be drawn first, and then all entries in that pool will be put into the general pool of team entries. After which the remaining three team slots will be drawn.
-
Should a team register with only one Charlotte member and then change their roster to have two or more Charlotte Curling members, that team will then be considered a club team and will be subject to the lottery.
-
The deadline for club team entries will be July 1, 2018. Entries must be received by our registrar Lynn Strickland by snail mail prior to that date. These club entries must include a check for the entry fee. The checks will not be cashed unless the team entry is chosen.
-
Club team entry forms are available by emailing Carol McKee. If only four teams apply, they will have an automatic registration without a lottery and will be notified on July 2, 2018.
-
If less than four teams apply, then the remaining available slots will be opened to the general waiting list.
-
The date for the Lottery Drawing will coincide with the August work party at the club (date TBD) and club team slots will be drawn at that gathering. Club members do not need to be present to claim their spot if they are selected.
-
The Bonspiel Chair reserves the right for final interpretation of these rules.
