quickly, so please register and pay your fees ASAP.

made online via the GCC website, or by check (payable to GCC and labeled 5
& Under Spiel) placed in the GCC office mail slot.
What Is Included
- Fun!
- Four games
guaranteed (actually eight 4-end games, see below).
- You will not go
home hungry during this spiel! Lunch
on Saturday and Sunday, and catered dinner on Saturday night, are included with
your registration fee. Saturday dinner
for non-participants is $15, and advance notice is required.
- The Juniors
will be hosting a fundraiser breakfast on Sunday morning.
- One free
pitcher for every team. And a
chance to win more free pitchers while playing on Saturday.

Schedule
- Start time is 8:30am
Saturday and the bonspiel will be over by 1pm Sunday.
- All teams will
be scheduled for games on Saturday evening after dinner.
- All
participants should expect to be at the club all day Saturday and through 1pm on
Sunday.
Eligibility, Sign up, &
Teams
- Eligible
participants are Granite Curling Club members who are in their 5th full season
or less. This includes any years
curling at other clubs. If you are
in your 6th (or later) curling season, you are no longer eligible. If your first season started with GCC
Spring Leagues, do not count that season in your total. Junior curlers only count the years that
they have curled in adult leagues.
- Entries will be
limited to the first 60 individuals who register online and pay the fee by January
10th. Spares/standbys are
encouraged to sign up even if the bonspiel appears to be full, since
cancellations do occur.
- You must
register through the Club website AND pay the fee for your registration to be
complete.
- This is an
individual entry competition and the bonspiel organizer will form the teams. Please include details about your years
of experience and regular league nights when you register.
- For planning
purposes, assume that you will not be curling with a spouse or significant
other on the same team.
- The sign-up
deadline is January 10th and your entry fee must be received by this date.
Format
- Each team will
curl four 4-end games, rotating positions for each game, to determine team
ranking in three pools.
- The teams in
each of the three pools will then curl another four 4-end games to reach the
prizes.
