How it Works

How it works

As a central platform for curling players to find curling events to attend, we provide opportunities for both curling players and curling events organisers. The key is to ensure that the curling community find events that they’d enjoy attending and would love to be a part of. At the same time, we ensure that tournament organisers find a base of players that would be interested in participating in their events. Here’s exactly what we do for you, whether you’re a player or a tournament organiser.

If you’re a CURLER

Our goal is to present to you with the best and most exciting opportunities curling has to offer.

You’ll be able to use this website to look for events near you that you’d like to attend. If you’re the traveling type that wants to meet new communities and other curling players, then you’ll also be able to have a look at what other curling events are taking place around the world.

When you find an event that catches your eye that you’d like to sign up to, you’ll be able to register for this event directly through our website. You can pay the entry fee for the event online using your credit or debit card, at which point you’ll receive a ticket invite to the event you’ve registered for in your email account. The e-ticket you’re provided with can then be printed off and brought to the event for you to gain access. You can also show your e-ticket at the door with your mobile.

Furthermore, you’ll be able to look for accommodation with our local partners to ensure that you find a place to stay in for the duration of the event. We guarantee that you’ll be matched with the most competitively priced hotspots based on your budgeting requirements. This can be done entirely through our website using the accommodation map feature.

If you’re an EVENT ORGANIZER

Whenever you are planning on hosting an event, you’ll be able to publish events on our website and operate and manage the event on our easy to use and seamless platform.

As a partner of our website, you’ll be able to create promotional information exclusive towards the event, such as the use of promo codes. At the same time, you’ll be able to utilize our network to broadcast and publicize your event to other curlers through our mailing lists and more. You’ll also be able to manage your event registrations directly through us.

When you creating an event, you have the option to decide whether you want to enable online registration and/or sell tickets online. Online registration are free of charge and allows attendees to register for the event through the bonspiels.net platform. By enabling online registration, organizers can streamline the registration process and make it easier for attendees to sign up.

If the you decides to sell tickets online, you can choose to do so through a ticketing module. In return, we collect a small service fee as your featured hosting platform.

Selling tickets

The platform allows curlers worldwide to register and pay for events online. Event organizers can set a registration fee, publish event details, and interested curlers can easily register and pay using a secure payment gateway. This simplifies the registration process for organizers and attendees, resulting in a seamless and convenient experience for all parties involved, ultimately leading to a successful event.

We use Stripe Adaptive Payments that is a feature of Stripe Connect that enables a platform to split a payment between event organizer and service provider in a single transaction.

Here's how it works:

1. When an event organizer creates a new event, they have the option to sell tickets for that event. The organizer logs in to their Stripe account or creates a new one if they don't have one already, and links it to the bonspiels.net platform's Stripe account via Stripe Connect.

2. When a event attendance purchases a ticket on the bonspiels.net platform, the funds are received by the service provider's Stripe account.

3. The Stripe platform transfers the appropriate amounts to each organizer's connected Stripe account, minus the bonspiels.net platform's fee.

4. The organizer receive the funds and can transfer them to their own bank account.

Steps

1

User finds and registers for an event

The first step is for the user to find an event that they want to attend on a platform. Once they have found the event, they can register for it by providing their personal information and completing the payment process.
2

Organizer receives payment

 After the user has registered and paid for the event, the organizer will receive the payment through the ticketing platform.
3

User attends the event

On the day of the event, the user will attend and present their ticket or registration confirmation at the entrance. The user will then be able to enjoy the event and all the activities and experiences it has to offer.
