Important registration note: Registration will be available from this page – not our usual Event Listings page!
The goal of the Over-Under Bonspiel is to encourage people who are newer to curling to bonspiel, but in a setting where they face teams with similar levels of experience. Each team must contain at least two members with five years or fewer of curling experience each, and can have up to two members over five years of experience each.
Whether this will be your first bonspiel, you want to gain experience with your 5 & under team, or you want to encourage some members of your club to travel to their first event, we hope you'll give this social, relaxed, but still competitive bonspiel a shot!

FAQ
Q: What if I have 3 "unders"? What about 4?
A: That's fine! No more than 2 "overs" per team.
Q: What if we have an alternate?
A: As long as the fielded team complies with the rules, you're fine.
Q: What if I have a team of three? Can we have 2 "overs" and 1 "under"?
A: No. Your team must have at least 2 "unders".
Q: My "under" had to back out at the last minute. Can I sub an "over" in their place?
A: Only so long as the team that is actually fielded complies with the team composition rules. This means, you can sub an “over” in, but you still need to have a minimum of 2 “unders” on the ice.
Q: Can I form at team with Niklas Edin, Oskar Eriksson, and two 5th-year curlers?
A: You're kinda missing the spirit of the event, but yes, bring it on ;)
Q: I like rules. Can you formally state the team composition rule?
A: At all times during each game, there must be at least 2 players on each team with 5 or fewer years of curling experience. Any game played with a team in violation of this rule will be forfeited by the offending team. A curler has one year of experience for each period between June 1 and May 31 of the following year that they have played in 15 or more curling games. Furthermore, a curler who has played in five Over-Under Bonspiels is automatically considered to be an "over" in future Over-Under Bonspiels. Triangle Curling reserves the right to investigate eligibility from any participant's home club.
