REGISTRATION INFORMATION:
LOCATION: Richmond Curling Club, 5540 Hollybridge Way, Richmond, BC, V7C 4N3
DATE: March 21 – 23, 2025. Draw Schedule TBA.
[Vancouver Nisei Curling Club Pool curlers: Refer to the registration and payment instructions at the bottom of this page.]
ENTRY DEADLINE: February 28, 2025. Registration is guaranteed only with full payment. Register early to avoid disappointment. If you have already registered, please pay your entry fees ASAP to avoid being put on a waiting list. We are limiting registration to 32 TEAMS. Please remember to include your email address as this will be the preferred method of communication to keep all curlers informed and up-to-date.
ENTRY FEE: $110.00 per person / $440.00 per team. The entry fee includes: Friday night bento, Saturday night banquet; lots of great entertainment; and cash prizes for the winners. Not to mention all the socializing! Extra meal tickets are available for sale (see Registration Form). The preferred method of payment is by e-transfer to vancouverniseicurlingclub@gmail.com (include your name[s] in the message). If you are unable to pay by e-transfer, cheques payable to “Vancouver Nisei Curling Club” (Canadian funds only) can be sent to Vivian Omori, 11360 Schooner Crt, Richmond, BC, V7E 4L1 (please indicate on your cheque which team/individuals the payment is for).
REGISTRATION: To register a team or as an individual (we will place those without a team), please fill out and submit the online Registration Form. If you are part of a team, please complete one registration form for the entire team. If you have questions about registering, please contact registration@bcniseicurling.ca. Entry fees will be refunded should space be unavailable.
ELIGIBILITY AND TEAMS: All curlers must be of hereditary Japanese lineage, or be a spouse, common-law partner or an immediate family member (child or stepchild only) of a person of Japanese origin or descent. Please note that each team must have a minimum of one female curler, playing any position.
Curlers from outside the Vancouver Nisei Curling Club area can form their own teams; however, we do encourage all curlers who want to join the Vancouver Nisei Curling Club pool to do so – it’s a great way to meet new people! If you don’t have a team, we can help find one for you.
Vancouver Nisei Curling Club members and spares will be placed in a pool and teams will be formed by draft pick; however, Vancouver Nisei Club members and spares are permitted to form their own “family team” (consisting of close relatives: spouses, common-law partners, parents, grandparents, siblings, children, stepchildren, cousins, aunts, uncles only) if able to do so. If transportation is an issue, spouses may be placed together on the same team.
Vancouver Nisei Curling Club Pool curlers: Do not submit the online registration form. There will be a sign-up sheet circulated at the Richmond Curling Club. Otherwise, contact registration@bcniseicurling.ca to join and to order extra meal tickets. Once teams are picked (via a draw pick in March), curlers should pay the $110 entry fee (and any extra meal ticket fees) to their skip. The skips will submit payment for their entire team to the organizers.
