Changes to Policy Regarding Payments and Registration
Changes to Team Registration & Team Sponsorship Payments
These changes go into affect starting August 1st of the 2020/2021 season as voted on by the CCC board 10/20/2019.
Team Registration
Team registration will continue to be due by the annual league/team registration meeting typically held in early October. We need the Team Registration filled out for every team that plans on curling in that season. This is needed to secure your previous years spot (grandfather rules apply). Any team not having filled out the online team registration by the team league meeting, forfeits their spot, and we will fill that spot during the team league meeting. This policy has not changed from what it has been in the past.
Sponsorship Checks/Payments
Previously, sponsorship checks/online team sponsorship payments were also due by the annual team registration meeting. If your sponsor could not provide their check by that meeting, your team was required to provide a personal or hold check by the start of that team registration meeting. This check was used to secure payment for your required sponsorship. Upon receiving your sponsors check at a later date, we would then shred your personal hold check. If your sponsorship check/payment was not received, we would then cash your personal hold check as a way to fulfill every teams requirement of having a sponsorship payment (with the exception of new/1st-year teams, as they do not require a team sponsor).
Starting the 2020/2021 season, sponsorship checks/online payments will not be due until January 1st of the current curling season. Teams will NOT be required to provide a hold check as part of their team registration. Teams must only have their online team registration submitted by the annual team league meeting.
Also starting the 2020/2021 season, any team whose sponsorship is not paid for by January 1st of the current curling season, is required to pay for their team sponsorship upon their first night back to leagues, after January 1st. Any team that does not provide payment for their sponsorship by their first league night back after January 1st, will FORFEIT their league spot the next curling season, regardless of delivery of a personal check or sponsorship check after the required deadline as listed above. Checks received will not be cashed, and will be voided and returned to the team the check is intended for.
The next season, the forfeited team may apply for their previous spot, but grandfather rules will apply, allowing teams on a waiting list first option at the vacancy.

Changes to Individual Registration
In the past, the club and board has had issues with unpaid and/or unregistered members well after January 1st. In an effort to eliminate this issue, all members must be paid and signed up before being allowed to participate.
The following changes will go into affect June 1st, 2018, as voted on by the CCC board 05/23/2018:
Individual Registration Late Fee
Registration for teams and individual curlers will be posted and available in August of the upcoming season. This gives ample time for every member to get registered AND paid before league begins in October.
On the Sunday before league starts at midnight (12:00 AM Monday), individual fees for league will increase by $25 per league for ALL unpaid curlers.
Every curler, regardless of start night for their individual league(s), must be paid and registered by midnight of the Sunday prior to league start.
There will be an option on the registration form allowing you to select that you will be paying by check if you would like to forgo online payment; however, all checks must be mailed to PO Box 2453, Bismarck ND 58502 before the start of leagues. Any checks postmarked by mail or in the club dropbox after midnight of the Sunday before league start must include the $25/league late fee, or the checks will be returned.
Forfeited Games
Any team that has unpaid OR unregistered players at the start of the 3rd week of leagues, will forfeit all games until all team members are current on payments and registration.
This gives all skips and teams two weeks to get any non paid or non registered teammates on their team, current.
Waiver
Last year, CCC included a waiver on the online registration form for each individual curler. That waiver must be accepted to be allowed on the ice.
Any curlers that have not registered online by the start of leagues, will be asked to remain off the ice until their online registration is complete and they have accepted the waiver to be on the ice.
All registration must be done online. CCC will not provide printed copies of the registration form and waiver.
