How Championships Find a Home
Quadball Canada awards Regional and National Championships to host communities through a formal bidding process. This ensures that all interested communities have an equal and fair opportunity to apply. Many factors are considered throughout this process to align with the organization's overall goals, resource availability and commitments to our membership. Our standards ensure that events are held at quality venues with strong organizational support, growing the sport across the country.
How to Bid?
Quadball Canada opens its bidding cycle and provides information in our bid manual about the requirements we have for hosts. For each respective event, we have certain expectations and standards that need to be met in the following areas: facility, technical, medical, accommodations, marketing, promotions and funding. Additionally, our bids include an enhanced event requirement category, where we ask hosts to highlight further value adds that could benefit and elevate the event experience. This includes but is not limited to indoor facilities, food and beverage, legacy pieces and complimentary offerings.

Current Bid Cycle
How does your bid win?
Once Quadball Canada receives all potential bid applications, we carefully review each submission to assess whether or not each host is able to meet our outlined requirements.
Any host that cannot meet the majority of our requirements is no longer considered for the event. Should all hosts meet our outlined requirements, we then assess and compare the Enhanced Event Elements they have offered in their application.
If the Enhanced Event Elements are comparable amongst the applications, we then consider the geographical locations we have recently hosted in over the last two years, as well as the grant funding we can access, based on municipal and provincial availability in each region.
Our final considerations, prior to host selection, is to account for Quadball Canada's mission, vision and values. We always want to ensure that our hosts align with who we are and what we do, which is to lead, grow and promote our sport in Canada.
Once all of the above areas have been assessed, we are then able to select our hosts.
