College Curling USA

College Curling USA is the governing body of collegiate curling in the US. The organization acts as the NCAA does in other college sports — setting game play, eligibility, and organizational rules. College Curling USA is affiliated with United States Curling Association (USCA), the organization responsible for organizing Olympic teams.[1]

History

The idea of college curling in the US began in the late 1980s when the Illinois State Curling Foundation (ISCF) began to look into college curling, filling a gap between junior and adult curling levels. The ISCF, along with curling clubs, began promoting the idea of curling to schools.[2] National Tournament began in the early 1990s with only a few schools in Northern Illinois and Wisconsin. Since then, has boomed to more than 40 schools- mostly in the Northern tier of the US and Northeast US. New Programs are starting all over the US as new clubs are being established.[3]

In the 2012-13 season, more than 200 curlers from 36 colleges or universities participated in College Curling USA sanctioned events.[4]

In September 2013, the College Championship became a United States Curling Association sanctioned event.[5]

For the 2014 Curling College Championship held in Blaine, MN, Taco Bell became an official corporate sponsor.[6]

Before the pandemic, the USA Curling College Tour and Championship had over 450 registered college students, participating in 15 college only bonspiels from the East Coast to the Midwest.

Format

College teams compete in regional categories:

Until 2013 the regions were:

  • Grand National (East Coast)
  • Great Lakes
  • Minnesota
  • North Dakota
  • Wisconsin

For the 2013 and 2014 championships, the regions were:[7]

  • Region 1: Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine
  • Region 2: Lower Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana
  • Region 3: Upper Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois
  • Region 4: Minnesota and North Dakota
  • Region 5: Remainder of the US

For the 2015 through 2017 championship the regions were:[7]

  • Region 1: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont
  • Region 2: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania
  • Region 3: Indiana, Illinois, Lower Michigan, Ohio, and Southern Wisconsin
  • Region 4: Upper Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Northern Wisconsin
  • Region 5: Remainder of the US

After 2017 the regional aspect of the championship was abandoned except for the relabeling the former "Region 5" as the "Emerging Region."

Invitations to the National Championship are awarded based on accumulated 'merit points'. Points are primarily earned by hosting and/or competing in a collegiate bonspiel. Points can also be collected through non-bonspiel (Match Play) intercollegiate play or, for the Emerging (now West) Region schools only, through other non-college bonspiels and league play. College athletes must be members of the USA Curling and full-time students at the school they represent in order to earn points.

After 2023 the "Emerging Region" was relabeled the "West Region." Before this change, all new college curling programs began in the Emerging Region, regardless of their school's location. This was in addition to many curling programs located out West, which were originally given the label "Emerging" due to their geographic remoteness within the broader college curling world. This change made the composition of all the regions purely geographic. Since then, the three regions have been Northeast, Midwest, and West. The number of teams that receive nationals berths from each region varies year-to-year depending on that respective region's size (number of teams).

The national tournament is typically held in March.
