How You Pick Your Celebrity Skip

  • IMPORTANT:  Give us your best phone number. We need to reach you when the auction closes, because that’s when it’s time to pick your Celebrity Skip! Phone numbers are critical. If you don’t answer your phone, we will have to move down the list.

Skip Auction will be up soon.  

1. When you bid on your skip(s) in the Skip Auction, your final bid (what you will owe) will be your final bid minus your entry fee (your entry fee counts towards your skip bid, *** as do any sponsorships or matches you bring in *** see list below ***. 

2. We encourage every team to use the Skip Auction and bid on multiple skips. We highly recommend you bid on several skips (at least your “top 5”) to ensure your choice. The benefit of the way we run our Skip Auction is to provide a more direct route to your skip and increase transparency. So, for those curlers that DO NOT bid on skips in the Skip Auction, they will be part of the draft. Skips that have not been bid on will go to the draft. 

UNDERBIDS ARE PERMITTED!

These are bids LOWER than the highest bid but higher than the next-highest bid. This ensures that EVERY BID can be used, and that EVERY TEAM can bid.

(the $1000 minimum is to access the online auction. If you bring less than $1000, you may still bid. You just need to submit your bid manually (by email) to Todd). Todd’s email address is:  todd330@gmail.com.

Under-bids and manual (less-than-$1000) bids get emailed to Todd. 

More info coming on this from Todd soon.

*These count towards your skip bid:

  • Sponsorship you bring – See the SPONSORSHIP kit to help you
  • Personal payment
  • Corporate matches
  • Family & Friends contributions (we accept cash and checks as well as cc payments to your online fundraising page)
  • Other campaigns (facebook or other)

When it comes time to bid on skips, simply place your bid(s), and then pay what you owe

We will close the Skip Auction approximately a week prior to the spiel. Exact date and time to be announced

  • Again, for those teams that do not bid on a skip in the auction, they go to the “draft” system.  In the draft, the top money-raisers get first pick of those skips that were not bid on. The second highest money-raisers get second pick.

  • The draft system is based on total monies brought to the foundation (via fundraising, payment, sponsorship, corporate matches, etc). wherein the top fundraiser gets first pick. Total monies brought to the foundation determines your spot in the draft order.
