Regional Playdown Information

sdcanuck — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:38:10 +0000

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.

Curling Fashion

sdcanuck — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 23:26:26 +0000

While very fashion forward, open-toed sandals are not a good idea when curling.

At one of the downtown department stores in Vancouver, the windows were decorated with various sports themes during the Olympics. This picture was of the curling themed window. I know what you’re thinking – that looks just like a league game in San Diego.

Pickup Curling on July 8th

sdcanuck — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 04:23:14 +0000

On Thursday, July 8st, there will be a set of pickup games starting at 6:45 PM and finishing at 8:45. There will be four games played concurrently – a total of 32 spots are available. Teams will be organized at the beginning of the event.

No instruction will be provided at this event – curlers should have at least participated in one of our learn to curl clinics or played in one of our league games. Of course, the more experienced curlers are always happy to provide guidance and pointers (wanted or not).

Cost is $20 per person for the night (the zamboni is scheduled to be off at 6:45, so there will be a bit under 2 hours of playing time) – please register online in advance. To register multiple people, just select a quantity for the number you wish to register and process as a single transaction. If there is someone you want to play with, that will be worked out at the event (teams are not set prior to getting there).

Pickup Curling on July 1st

sdcanuck — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:31:01 +0000

The weather is always nice in San Diego, so why not go curling in the summertime?

The next pickup curling game will be on Thursday, July 1st, 6:45 to 8:45 PM. The zamboni is supposed to be off the ice by 6:45, so this will be a bit under 2 hours of curling time. Cost is $20 – more details can be found here.

We will also be having pickup games on the following dates:

Thursday, July 8th, 6:45pm-8:45pm
Wednesday, July 14th, 6:15pm-8:15pm
Thursday, July 22nd, 6:45pm-8:45pm
Tuesday, July 27th, 6:45pm-8:45pm

Registration for these nights will open later this week.

Pickup Game for Experienced Curlers

sdcanuck — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 00:23:20 +0000

Shorts - the bleeding edge of curling fashion.

We’ve been doing a lot of instructing of players new to the game lately – which is fantastic! – but here’s a chance to just come out and play for an evening. There will be an evening of pickup games on Wednesday, June 23rd – details and registration are here. Players that have participated in a Curl San Diego league are welcome to attend.

Thank you to Francesca for organizing this event!

Late Spring Mini-League

sdcanuck — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 23:56:00 +0000

In the mini-league, the instructors won't laugh at you. Promise.

Registration is now open for the upcoming mini-league! This will be a 5-week league starting 4/24 – all games are Saturday at 7:45. This league will have a lot of beginner curlers – we will be providing supervisors at each game to help with instruction, so if you haven’t curled before, this is a great chance to learn.

The league is open to more experienced curlers as well – we will mix experienced curlers with new players to keep the teams balanced. If you are interested in playing but unable to make one or more of the games, please let us know (Alan or Elliot at curl@curlsandiego.org) and we can help line up subs.

Details and registration are here:
