The Coronado/Mainland Shuffler

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a great summer. Jack sent me a great video of the National Shuffleboard Championship between the Chicago Club and the Brooklyn club! Loads to learn from watching. Enjoy

SHUFFLEBOARD MATCH W/ STRATEGY DISCUSSION!!! Missy vs Jeff 

Previously sent two years ago but worth watching again with Earl Ball as commentator.  He and Stan were shuffleboard partners years ago. 

Just wanted to let our members know that the euchre part of Coronado/mainland club had a tournament for our members. We had a prize pool from donations of 100 dollars, 3 euchre tshirts , a bottle of wine and another donation of 25 dollars along with the entrance fee. We had 2 brackets with 4 winners in each bracket. For the ones who didn’t place in the money we had a drawing for the tshirts , wine and the 25 dollar donation. Everyone was a winner of something so there was no losers. A good time  was enjoyed by everyone. I want to thank everyone who donated and participated. Thanks again, TIM

The CMShuffleboard Club would like to thank New Smyrna Beach Parks and Leisure for furnishing the rest of our beautiful court benches. We are now complete. Thanks to Mike, Zak, Tim, Bob, and Tony for all their hard work painting the courts.

Mike Beall and Zak Wonson started painting the alleys to our courts on Tuesday. They are a little lighter grey than Deland did theirs. The alleys will match our new benches very nicely. They did courts 17 – 20 on Tuesday and Mike, Tim Pergrem, Bob Augusto and Zak are going to do courts 1-4 on Thursday. They will start up top next week. So hot they may only get another four done this week. Thanks guys, the work looks great so far.

Leesburg is holding another singles/mingles on May 10. All are welcome. We are starting at 8:30. Bring a donation to the food-bank and $5.00. See you there.

To All Board Members and Club Presidents,

The following dates have been set for three (3) mock tournaments to be held.  They are as follows:

• Thursday, May 23, 2024 @ Leesburg Shuffleboard Club
• Thursday, June 6, 2024 @ Mid-Florida Lakes Shuffleboard Club
• Thursday, June 20, 2024 @ Deland Shuffleboard Club 

This Initiative is intended to educational as well as fun.  There will be lessons for all to learn, from the Directors to the Player/Participants.  We hope that we get good participation for both Pros and Amateurs for these events.

The District will line up the Directors.  I encourage you to let your members know that if anyone is interested and would like to assist, they are more than welcome to learn and possibly consider in becoming an Assistant Director.  I will be supplying water or hydration for all.  Members to bring their own lunches, snacks just like they would be for any other tournaments.

These tournaments shall consist of the following:

• These mock tournaments will be open to all Northern District Members
• It shall be a Draw Type Tournament with registration start at 8:15 am and closing at 8:45 am. The Tournament to start by 9:00 am
• It will be run just like any other tournament however there will be no fee attached.
• There will be no Fee paid to the directors
• Each Tournament will be limited to two matches only
• Questions and answer shall be permit at these tournaments.  I will explain each day we hold the tournament.
• There will be no first-place winners for either Main or Consolation.  Everyone automatically wins by participating in this endeavor.

Goals to be accomplished:

• Directors to work together to set up any tournament as well as work out any potential issues that might arise during the process.
• Lesson any mistakes that could potentially occur and when they do learn how to correct them going forward.
• To enhance each tournament director’s skills and to help each other with the Registration Process as well as creating the draw cards, court assignments and charting.
• Once players are assigned and playing all other participating Directors will monitor the playing and identify all potential rule violations that might be occurring.  This shall include what rule is being violated, potential penalty.  These potential violations will then be explained to the membership as they play their match.
• Field any questions by all participating players
• I anticipate this whole process to take about 4-5 hours.
• Teach all Pros and Amateurs when applicable how to check discs to see if they are good or not as well as field other any questions they might have.

Please put this information out on your websites and Facebook Pages.  

Looking forward to seeing you all there,

Joseph Inga, President                                                                                                                                                                                                           Northern District Shuffleboard Association
