2025 MoPac 5&Under

MoPac is excited to host the 12th Annual 5&U Bonspiel! For the first time ever, this year’s bonspiel is being held at Curl Vegas from February 21, 2025 to February 23, 2025.

Game play will start on Friday morning with the first draw as early as 8:00am (depending on the number of teams registered, 24-team maximum). Sunday events include *afternoon* finals followed by award ceremonies so be prepared to make travel plans accordingly. That means … be prepared to play on Fri morning and also be prepared to play Sun afternoon if your team makes the finals. We will not be able to fulfill special start time requests.

Registration will open to ALL teams on Thursday, November 7th at 6:00pm PST. The roster will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis based on registration timestamps according to the following: MoPac teams will fill the roster first. A MoPac team consists of 4 dues-paying, league-playing (played in 2024) curlers from a MoPac club. Then starting on Friday, November 15th at noon PST, we will fill the roster with the rest of the teams [composite teams (MoPac+other region) or other regional teams] as space permits.

Team registration fee is $550 payable to MoPac via Zelle. A link will be sent out once your team registration has been confirmed. 

This year the MoPac 5&U is a qualifier for the 5&U National Championships at St. Paul Curling Club from April 30, 2025 to May 4, 2025.

Curlers with less than 5 years of experience and less than 21 years old are invited to curl at the MoPac 5&U but are not permitted at the National Event.

Please note: according to USCA, all winners of 5&U qualifier spiels earn a berth. If any of those berths are declined, the spots go to the runners-up in the 5&U qualifier spiels with the greatest number of entries, in descending order. To be clear, the runners up in our event might not be automatically invited to Nationals.  Also, any team that goes to Nationals will have to upgrade their USCA membership to the COMPETITOR TIER.
