Philipsburg Outdoor Spiel Sells Out in Under 60 Seconds
The top curling headline for the week came from right here in Montana. Registration for the 2026 Philipsburg Outdoor Spiel opened and closed faster than most people can release a draw shot. All available slots were taken in under one minute, which speaks to the growing popularity of outdoor curling events and the clear demand for unique curling experiences.
The lottery phase for additional spots is already underway. If your team made it into the drawing, good luck. If not, this is your reminder to sit on that registration page next year with the reflexes of a skip reading ice during the tenth end.
