Membership Associations

This section is for provincial, territorial, and national curling associations that use Curling IO to support their member clubs. Most of Curling IO works the same for an association as for a club, so you will also use the rest of this documentation. The pages here cover what an association controls: the tools that serve your member clubs and their curlers.

If you manage a club, you don't need this section. Where a club-facing page touches something an association controls, such as a managed waiver, it links here so you can see what your association has set up.

Most items in this section appear in the admin only when your organization is a membership association. The Curling Development Fee claims report is the exception: a member club also sees it when your association lets clubs accept fee claims. If you manage an association and can't find one, contact support.

What associations can do​

  • Waiver templates: publish waivers that member clubs must use, or starting points that clubs can customize. Find them under Participants > Waivers.
  • Association fees: set the price and age limits of your fees, and choose whether curlers can pay directly or report a payment made elsewhere. Find them under Products > Association Fees.
  • Club Affiliation: let your member clubs register with your association and pay online. Set the price, taxes and registration form. Find it under Products > Club Affiliation.
  • Curling Development Fee claims: review payments that curlers reported, record payments you have verified, and reject reports that shouldn't count. Find the report under Reports > Registration.
  • Surveys: ask administrators at active affiliated organizations for feedback and review named or organization-weighted results. Find them under Reports > Surveys.

Associations also see Fees collected and Fees accrued on the dashboard and receive Premium access.

See Club Affiliations to review which clubs have affiliated with your association.

How this section relates to the rest of the documentation​

When the difference is small, such as one extra option on a shared page, the shared page explains it in place. When an association works differently from a club, with its own steps or its own audience, the guide lives here and the club's page links to it. A few steps repeat between the two on purpose, so each reader can follow one page from start to finish.
