  • Provinces with enough registered athletes to field a second team or pair may submit an additional Team/Pair roster

    • The maximum number of individual athletes for BC1 + 2 has not been increased; 3 per province already enables provinces to submit two teams
    • Wild Card Teams and Pairs that form the second Team or Pair from a province can have a coach. Must be a registered participant. Ideally should have NCCP certification and Safe Sport training.
  • In the case of injury, a Wild Card athlete can replace an injured athlete on a provincial Team or Pair, prior to the start of Team & Pairs event, and subject to a Wild Card team/pair not being broken up.

  • Team / Pair Roster forms will be sent to the designated team lead for each province
  • After provinces have submitted their rosters, the Team / Pair roster form will also be sent directly to Wild Card athletes and athletes not already named on a provincial Team / Pair Roster so they have an opportunity to connect and make up a WC team / pair if they wish.
