OCA ENTRIES

All entries for OCA events must be entered on-line at www.ontcurl.com . If you are registering for an event through the online registration system for the first time, you will need to set up an account. Creating an account is a one-time process. If you have trouble registering, there is step-by-step explanation attached to the database that will guide you through the process of setting up an account. The entry deadline for each competition is shown on the OCA website (www.ontcurl.com) as well as the OCA poster posted in the club. The deadline must be adhered to. It is up to each skip to enter their team using the on-line registration and pay the entry fee during the registration process. After the on-line registration is completed, the Club OCA Representative must confirm their eligibility electronically or via either email or fax.
