ADDITIONAL UPDATE: 4 PM GAMES WILL BE PLAYED AT BOJANGLES COLISEUM.
Light rain and a leaking roof continue to cause issues at the 2026 Men’s & Women’s National Championships in Charlotte, NC.
One game in today’s 8 AM session—Stopera vs. Cousins—could not be played due to water and frost buildup. That game is underway now at the Charlotte Curling Association facility.
As a result of the recurring issues, the 12 PM session has been postponed. The next full session will be a men’s session at 4 PM, followed by a women’s session at 8 PM. We will provide an update on the location of these games later this afternoon.
At this time, this is the schedule for the remainder of the event.
Ticketholders—if you have a ticket for a session that has been rescheduled, your ticket will be honored for any other session during the event.
