KICK OFF YOUR SEASON IN STYLE AND EARN A BERTH TO NATIONALS!
To determine clear men’s and women’s top finishers that qualify to receive berths to the 2026 USA Curling Arena National Championship, the field will be split into three divisions:
- Men’s Qualifying – Men’s arena teams eligible to receive a berth.
- Women’s Qualifying – Women’s arena teams eligible to receive a berth.
- Open / Non-Qualifying – All other teams; ineligible to receive a berth.
(Teams with dedicated ice curlers, regional arena playdown winners, mixed-gender teams, etc.)
The top finishing team from each qualifying division will receive a berth to the 2026 USA Curling Arena National Championship. To receive the berth, all members of the winning team must be eligible to compete in the championship.
After being eliminated from contention for the championship berth, teams from all divisions may be combined, if necessary, for following events (2nd event, 3rd event, etc.) to ensure that each team receives a minimum of 3 games.
