Registration
Registration for all qualified athletes is now open. Please click here to register.
Please note the registration deadline for all qualified athletes is Wednesday, March 27 @ 5pm. Following that date, quota spots will be allocated to the next athlete in the qualification list.
Qualified Athletes
Please note that, in accordance with our rules, any athlete who participated in the one (1) B/A/Jr/Adult Difficulty Qualifier event held is eligible to attend Provincials, including those who did not finish in the Top 20. The changes affect athletes in Youth A Male, Youth B Female, and Youth B Male. The lists below have been updated to reflect this change.
Additionally, the OCF will allow Foreign Nationals to compete in Difficulty Provincials where they qualify. Where a Foreign National takes the spot of an Ontario resident athlete, we have extended the qualification to include all quota spots by Ontario resident athletes. The lists below have also been updated to reflect this change.

Application Process
The OCF is opening an application process for anyone who was unable to attend one or both of the Difficulty Qualification events. Note that there would need to be significant extenuating circumstances for the OCF to grant permission for an athlete who did not participate in a Qualifier to then attend Provincials. If you feel this applies to you, the application link is below, and the deadline is Friday, March 29 at 5pm.
Please click here to submit your application.
