You can log on now to see some of the changes and updates that we have worked on through the summer and have more to come.
The biggest change as was mentioned in the latest newsletter is that the format for registration has changed to a Pay to Play format.
This means that registration will occur in two rounds.
Membership registration (Opens Sept 1)
Everyone signs up or renews their individual membership, thus making themselves available to be added to a team in the next step.
League registration (Opens Sept 14; Closes Sept 25)
Teams can register at this point. Team Skips can select from registered members to form a team.
Leagues which have additional fees (competitive leagues, dinner league, lockers, etc.) will be invoiced for those fees after league registration has closed.
Membership registration process
Log-on to FCC Player Portal on the FCC Website.
Select Registration either on the top bar or on the side bar.
Here you can:
Register or renew your membership
Register a team for a league (when league registration is open - Sept 14-25)
Put your name out there to find a team with “I Want to Find a Team”
Look at the club fees
One change to club fees occurred this year: Youth and Juniors (i.e., all curlers 21 and under) will now both be charged the same fee called Youth.
Membership registration
Select either Full Membership or Social Membership.
Note: Social members do not have ice access and do not have a vote at the annual member meeting.
If you have any children on your account, you can select yourself or a child here before moving on.
At this time, we cannot bundle children and parents together for invoicing, so you will need to go through the registration process for yourself and each child.
You will then need to enter your age; the system will determine whether you are a Youth curler (we do check who is listed as Youth, so please do not try to game the system).
If you are a First or Second Year Curler, it will state that at the top of the page as well. Otherwise, it will list you as an Experienced Curler, meaning you will pay the Standard Adult Member fee.
Next up is to sign the Liability Waiver. This must be done before an invoice will be generated.
Check that your Invoice Preview looks correct, and the appropriate membership and/or discount has been applied. If it is not correct, please email registration@curlfairbanks.org and we will help get you situated.
Click Continue to Payment and enter your credit card information.
That is it! You are now registered for the Fairbanks Curling Club 2026 Fall Draw.
Changes to League Registration
While League registration is not yet open (opens on Sept 14), this is the perfect time to reach out to folks to inquire whether they want to play as a team. If a previous team is no longer playing together or for any other reason you are looking for a team (you’re a new curler or joining a new league), we have the tool for you! We have improved how “Looking for a Team” functions.
Use the “I Want to Find a Team” option to put your name on a list of curlers looking for a team, you can select which night you are hoping to play on. Or you can say “any night!”
If you are a group of 2 you can put down your name as well as another person with an FCC player portal account.
Sometimes there is another group of two who are looking, so this is a good way to find another pair looking to team up.
You do not have to be a paid member to put your name into the pool of names. However, you cannot be selected to go onto a team until you are a paid member.
If you have not paid yet because you are not sure whether you will be on a team, Skips can email/call you to see if you want to play. You can then pay your membership at that time, after which they will be able to add you to their team.
If you have paid but do not end up on a team, the League Managers will work to try and fit you onto a team. If in the rare case we cannot get you on a team, we will work with you to reimburse your membership fee if you are not in any other leagues.
All curlers aged 5-21 are considered Youth and may participate in the Youth Curling Program.
Note: The Youth Curling Program’s page is currently being updated to reflect these changes.
Youth accounts can be set up for anyone considered a Youth curler (ages 5-21). There are two types of Youth Accounts:
An account in which the Youth can login directly with an email address.
An account without direct login access.
Both types of accounts allow for the parent or guardian to see the Youth Curler’s invoices and teams. To set up either type of account:
Go to your user profile on the FCC player portal (click your name below the social media images on the left side bar).
Navigate to the tab that says “Children”.
If your child already has an account, please contact us at registration@curlfairbanks.org and we can add your child’s account to your profile
If they do not already have an account, select “add new child”. Fill out the form. Your child does not need an email address to have an account.
Once the children are listed under your account you will be able to see their names during the registration process as mentioned above as well as any invoices associated with your child.
We will be assisting folks with registration during our Membership Social and Open House on September 19th.
If you need assistance, have any questions or concerns about these changes, please contact either the Board of Directors (board@curlfairbanks.org) or the Registration Team (registration@curlfairbanks.org).
