Calgary to host first Canadian Cloth Circuit championships with cash prizes

Calgary will host the first Canadian Cloth Circuit championships July 18-19, 2026, and the prize structure makes it more than a standard tournament weekend. Each division will pay a minimum of $2,000 CAD to its winner, and the champions will be crowned the first-ever Canadian Cloth Circuit titleholders. Top teams will also be playing for USA Dodgeball Premier Tour points, a direct route that can help shape qualification for USA Nationals in Chicago.

That cross-border payoff is what gives the finale its bite. Teams are not just chasing a Canadian title, they are chasing token-fueled access to the bracket and a points haul that carries real weight on the American side of the sport. Entry is controlled through tokens earned at circuit stops or wildcard invites, with rosters capped at nine players for gendered divisions and 10 for mixed. Teams can add up to two players without qualification tokens or wildcard invites, but those additions require approval, a rule that tightens the field rather than opening it up.

The competition itself is built to look and feel like a championship. All divisions, men’s, women’s and mixed, will play 6v6, and pools will be seeded by Dodgeball Hub Elo rankings. Organizers are also aiming for 100 percent hired officials, a detail that signals how seriously the event is being staged. Jersey requirements are tied directly to Dodgeball.LIVE broadcast and stat tracking, putting presentation and record-keeping into the same lane as the play on the floor.

The weekend will run as a full slate, not a one-day throw-in. Friday evening opens with a meet and greet before Saturday and Sunday bring the tournament action, with plans for an after-party and free professional photography for every team. Calgary is not just getting another stop on the calendar. It is getting the finale of the inaugural Canadian Cloth Circuit season, where the title, the cash and the points all land in the same place.
