League Sign Up Policy

Our prime time leagues continue to be popular. Their popularity has necessitated a sign-up policy that is fair to everyone. Please follow the procedures below to afford you the best change of playing in the league(s) you wish.

This policy defines a team to be four players only.

Deadline for signup: June 11, 2010

Follow these steps:

  • Fill out a Team Registration form, available at the club. Completed forms with 1 team member's payment of his/her membership fee are to be left at the bar or completed on-line. A list will be maintained on the web site for teams looking for individuals and individuals looking for teams.
  • Fill out a Membership Application form, available at the club and online (also in PDF format).
  • The individual signing up a team must have his/her payment of membership fees and membership application (also in PDF format) submitted with the team sign up form. Individual's can only pay their fee for 1 team on 1 evening. If this person plays on another team on another evening then another member of that second team must pay his/her membership fee. All post dated cheques submitted with the sign up form must be marked no later than the date listed above.

Sign-up Sheets

  • Sheets will be posted on the league bulletin boards for sign ups of returning teams or returning individuals searching for teams. Also, the web site will list teams and individuals looking for teams.
  • These sign-up sheets located on the league bulletin boards DO NOT GUARANTEE your team's spot in the league. They are simply to show intention and verify the names of team members.
  • Successfully completing these steps is the best way to join a league.

Sign up Deadline

  • The deadline for signing up teams in all leagues has been set as the date noted above at 4:00pm. Teams signing up late (after the date noted above) will be ranked based on a points system.

Points System Applied

  • The Match Committee will use an expanded points system in their consideration of teams who have applied to curl in the upcoming season. While final decisions will rest heavily on the discretion of the Match Committee, the following will be taken into consideration.
    • Returning league team
    • Payment of membership in full (no post dated cheques after the date noted above)
    • Returning OCC member
    • Returning league member
    • Team wanting to switch (but not add) leagues
    • Longevity and activity as an OCC member

If any OCC league is over-subscribed for 2010-2011, the policy to be accepted into any evening league (Mon-Fri) is as follows:

  • All four registered players from a specific league in 2009-2010 returning to that same league – automatic entry
  • Three of four registered players from a specific league in 2009-2010 returning to that same league – automatic entry
  • Point system for new teams for 2010-2011:
    • Three (3) points per player if a registered member of that same league in 2009-2010
    • Two (2) points per player if a registered player in any other OCC league
    • One (1) point per player for any new member
    • The points are totalled and the higher ranked teams get accepted until the league is full.
