The MCA Dar Curtis began in 1947 as a way to provide new curlers with the opportunity to curl against regional teams of a similar caliber. In 2023, the spiel transitioned to an Under/Over event. Each team must contain at least two curlers each with five years or less of experience, and two curlers of six or more years of experience each. This 2-day spiel is limited to 16 teams and is free to MCA members.
