MOPAC, which is our region within USCA, is beginning to organize the regional playdown schedule for this year. The regional playdowns determine the teams that represent our region in the national championships. There are several different team categories with varying signup deadlines. Below is an e-mail sent out by the MOPAC organizer. If you are thinking of entering a team in any (or several) of these categories, please let me know (send an e-mail to curl@curlsandiego.org). For planning purposes the organizing committee would like to know how many teams each club is likely to send.

Below is a complete list of the registration deadlines for upcoming USA Curling national events. Registration links using the Compete-At system will be finalized in the near future so athletes can begin signing up.
Sign-up deadlines:
Wheelchair Team Tryouts, 9/10
World University Games, 10/22
Mixed Doubles, 11/4
M/W Nationals, 11/29
Junior Nationals, 12/6
Seniors, 12/16
M/W Club Nationals, 1/6
Mixed, 1/20
All registration fees will be $290 per team with the exception of Men’s/Women’s Nationals, which will be $540 per team. The wheelchair event is an individual sign-up. That fee is $50 and the Compete-At link is live for registering.
There is no number restriction on how many teams can register to participate in the regional playdowns. But (depending on our numbers) 1 or 2 teams from a region can advance to the Nationals event.
