Product @ Curling IO

Every provincial and territorial curling association in Canada uses Curling IO, and so does the national body, Curling Canada. That's 15 membership associations, all on the same platform, along with their affiliated clubs.

The Full List​

What Associations Use It For​

Provincial associations use Curling IO to run their competitions: provincial championships, playdowns, regional qualifiers. They manage team registrations, schedule draws, score games live, and publish results. Fans and participants see brackets, standings, and scoreboards update in real time. For a closer look at how this works at the national level, see how Curling Canada uses Curling IO.

Associations also collect affiliate fees through the platform. When a curler registers at their local club, the club's registration fees and the association's affiliate fees are collected together in one transaction. Curling Canada's national fee, the provincial fee, and the club's own fees all appear on a single checkout. No separate invoicing, no manual reconciliation.

The affiliate fee tie-in is optional. Clubs can use Curling IO independently without inheriting association fees or reporting member data. But clubs that do opt in get the fee collection and reporting handled automatically.

The platform is fully bilingual (English and French), which matters for associations like Curling Québec and for clubs across the country with francophone members.

Why It Matters for Clubs​

When your provincial association is on Curling IO, a few things work in your favour.

Your curlers already have profiles. A curler who registered for a provincial bonspiel or played in a championship already exists in the system. When they register at your club, they find their existing profile. No re-entering names, addresses, or emergency contacts.

Competitions connect. A curler's results from club leagues, provincial playdowns, and national championships all live in the same system. Their profile carries from club leagues to provincial to national competitions.

Why It Matters for Curlers​

From a curler's perspective, Curling IO is one account. They register for their Tuesday night league at their local club, sign up for a weekend bonspiel at another club, and qualify for a provincial championship. Same login, same profile, same payment flow.

There are currently around 150,000 curler profiles in the system across hundreds of active clubs and all 15 membership associations. That number grows every season as more clubs come online.

Getting Started​

If your club is under a Canadian provincial association, your association is already on Curling IO. Getting started means your affiliate fees and curler database are connected from day one. There's no setup fee, no monthly fee, and no contract.

Clubs outside of Canada can use Curling IO too, just without the association tie-in.
