Recap - 3 Weeks Later

Riverton, NJ -  Things certainly were Above Ground and Off The Wall. We had lots of great matches early on with the upstart club Perfect Strangers beating local favorites Dianetics! in our first game. Dianetics! was the first team eliminated this year, no doubt disappointing L. Rob Hubbard. As the tournament progressed, teams like Puncher’s Chance, Texas Tuo and REO Teabaggin’ were eventually eliminated. The real story, however, was the Quate Kings being eliminated with losses to Keep Hammerin’ and the ‘77ers. No doubt The Kings expected more. They entered the tournament as money favorites to capture the Triple Crown.

It took two games, but Kim Possible defeated Keep Hammerin’ to become this first coed champs in TCoS major tournament history.  For the first time ever, both trophies went home to the same house. It looks like Kim and Brett need to order a trophy case.

The Triple Crown of Shuffleboard now enters its 45 week offseason. We’ll be back next March. Also, mark your calendar for the next Derby Day Shuffleboard Tournament – May 7th, 2016 at 2PM.
