NSCA Policies: Championship Cancellation Compensation


The NSCA awards events on the basis that the events will go ahead as scheduled.

Where an event is cancelled by the NSCA and not rescheduled at the same club in the same curling season, and Where the host club has had no control over the decision to cancel The NSCA acknowledges a responsibility to provide compensation.

Where the club is unable, or unwilling, to carry through with its commitment no compensation should be provided. This would include a decision to relocate due to poor playing conditions or an inability or unwillingness to meet normal hosting requirements.

A decision to award compensation and the amount of such shall rest exclusively with the NSCA Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors shall be guided by the following schedule of compensation:

  • Up to and including the Semi-Annual Meeting - 25% of the normal hosting grant. *
  • From the day following the Semi-Annual Meeting until six (6) weeks prior to the scheduled start of the event - 50% of the normal hosting grant. *
  • Within six weeks of the start date - 75% of the hosting grant. *
*In order to ensure that no club is out-of-pocket, the NSCA may top up to the total of actual cash outlays, by the club, directly related to the event. Receipts may be required.

No compensation shall be awarded if an event is rescheduled with the same host within the same curling year.
