The Mid-Atlantic Curling Association sponsors an open bonspiel twice a year, rotating amongst the MACA member clubs: Chesapeake, Philadelphia, Plainfield and Potomac.

The MACA Friendly Bonspiel is open to individual curlers of any skill level of the participating clubs, and is intended as a social gathering for members. It is intended as a social gathering as well as a learning experience. Participants are randomly assigned to positions and teams, allowing players the opportunity to curl with members of other clubs, as well as play all 4 positions of a curling team. Points are accumulated for the club by its members throughout the year in hopes of ultimately winning the MACA trophy. Click here for more information.

The CPI Invitational

The Chesapeake & Potomac Invitational Bonspiel (aka: Meltdown) began in 1983 as a competition between the Potomac Curling Club and the Chesapeake Curling Club. At the time of founding, Potomac was playing on rented hockey ice, and the newly established Chesapeake Curling Club had dedicated curling ice. The two clubs jointly hosted the original bonspiel. Since that time, the clubs have alternated the hosting of the event. Click here for more information.
