My team will compete in a future regional playdown. Which division can we enter?
If you plan to compete in a regional arena playdown prior to this bonspiel, register in your respective qualifying division (i.e. men's or women's).
​
If you win your regional playdown, your team will be moved to the Open / Non-Qualifying division to give preference to arena teams who have yet to earn a championship berth. If you do not win your playdown, you will stay in your qualifying division and remain eligible to win the nationals berth from this bonspiel.
​
My team registered in a qualifying division, but won our regional playdown. Can we get a refund if we do not attend this bonspiel?
If your team's attendance depends on whether you win your playdown or not, please register in your qualifying division but do not make payment yet and add a comment during registration to let us know the timeline for your situation.
​
Out of courtesy for other teams, please let us know your decision no later than July 31st. This will enable us to fill the field from the waitlist, if necessary, while still allowing those teams to make any necessary travel arrangements. If you have already paid but will not attend because you have earned a berth from regional playdowns, we will refund your payment.
​
Note that you can still participate in the Open / Non-Qualifying division of this bonspiel if you have already secured a berth at arena nationals!
We registered in the Open division wait list. When will our registration be confirmed?
Registration will give preference to Qualifying Division teams through July 31st. On August 1st, we will confirm registrations and request payment for wait-listed teams. We will confirm registrations in the order they were received until the field is full.
​
Do I need to be belong to a USA Curling Member club to compete in a qualifying division?
Yes. The qualifying divisions are available exclusively to curlers that belong to USA Curling Member Clubs. Note that there is no club membership requirement for the Open / Non-Qualifying division.
​
Do I need a USA Curling "Competitor" membership to compete in a qualifying division?
No! You do not need the "Competitor" membership to compete in a qualifying division. However, if you win the berth, you must upgrade to "Competitor" in order to compete in arena nationals. Also note that there is no membership requirement for the Open / Non-Qualifying division.
​
Can I register a team that has already qualified for nationals?
Yes! Teams that have already qualified for the 2024 USA Curling Arena National Championships (i.e. returning champions and regional playdown winners) may register in the Open / Non-Qualifying Division. Teams in this division can compete in the bonspiel but are not eligible to receive a berth to arena nationals.
​
Can I register a team with curlers from multiple regions?
Yes! Teams with curlers from multiple regions may register in the Open / Non-Qualifying division. Teams in this division can compete in the bonspiel but are not eligible to receive a berth to arena nationals.
​
Can I register a mixed-gender team?
Yes! Mixed-gender teams may register in the Open / Non-Qualifying division. Teams in this division can compete in the bonspiel but are not eligible to receive a berth to arena nationals.
​
Can I register a team of dedicated-ice curlers?
Yes! Teams with dedicated-ice curlers may register in the Open / Non-Qualifying division. Teams in this division can compete in the bonspiel but are not eligible to receive a berth to arena nationals.
​
I have another question about eligibility for the arena national championship berth.
In order to receive the arena nationals berth, all members of the top-finishing teams from the men's and women's divisions must be eligible to compete in the arena national championship.
​
For more information about individual eligibility for the USA Curling Arena National Championship, refer to the USA Curling Qualification Procedures.
​
What forms of payment do you accept?
You can pay with check ($380) or Venmo ($388). This information is also provided at the end of the registration form. Note that concessions at the Onalaska Omni Center accept only cashless payment.
