Registration Lottery
We are instituting a lottery system for the 2024 SOB, to provide the fairest means possible for teams to attend. Registration is open for 48 hours, from noon MT on November 1st through noon MT on November 3rd. Teams can register on this page.
All teams will be put into a Bingo machine with a corresponding number. Each entry will receive one Bingo ball. A valid entry consists of at least 3 unique curlers on a team. In the Spirit of Curling, please do not try to game the system by entering multiple times for the same team. The committee reserves the right to remove entries if tampering is evident. The committee will select all Bingo balls, forming the list of teams plus a waitlist, in order of selection.
Teams who are selected will be notified by midnight on Friday, November 3rd. Positions on the waitlist will also be notified. As a team, you will have until Monday, November 6th at 11:59pm MT to submit payment of a team fee ($400) to reserve your spot. If your payment is not submitted, your spot will be assigned to the next team on the waitlist. Waitlist teams will also have 72 hours to submit payment.
Each team who enters the lottery and is unsuccessful in gaining an entry spot into the SOB will have additional tickets in the hat when entering their next lottery, regardless of whether it is the next year or a future year, thus improving the probability of being selected. Every lottery applicant will receive 2^(n-1) tickets in the hat for each unsuccessful attempt to gain entry where n is the number of years applied. As an example: If a team applies and is unsuccessful in gaining entry two times, they will have four tickets in the hat when entered in the lottery the third year (2^2), eight in fourth year (2^3), 16 in fifth (2^4), 32 in sixth (2^5), etc.
For carryover to future years, there must be at least two attendees that are the same from one year to the next.
