Did Someone Say Ryder Cup?

Bennington Shuffleboard Club vs. Terrace Club?

The season hasn't even started and there is already talk of a potential Ryder Cup type tournament between the BSC and the Terrace Club.  The idea of two clubs playing a series of different match play competitions is currently just talk but one can dream.  It would be interesting to see if we can plan to do it sometime in the coming months but the focus is squarely on getting this season off the ground.  

Introduction of the BSC

TCoS is proud to announce the creation of the Bennington Shuffleboard Club.  

The Board Members of the Triple Crown of Shuffleboard recently accepted Matthew Halt's proposal to allow the Bennington Shuffleboard Club (BSC) to reside under the umbrella of the TCoS organization.  The history and prestige of the TCoS brand is instantly recognizable as the organization has promoted the wonders of top-shelf competitive shuffleboard around the state for the last decade.  Events such as March Madness, the Medford Masters and the Derby Day Shuffleboard Tournaments have been the calling card of the TCoS.  More recently the success of theTerrace Club, serving the residents of Riverton and the surrounding areas, has provided Matt the confidence to bring a similar setting for those in the Medford area.  

The Inagurial season will begin in December and run through June taking place once a month on the second Wednesday of the month.  We will have close to 30 participants, making up 10 teams with a dedicated list of substitutes, that will allow for the creation of two divisions. The season will culminate with the crowning of a team that will play six matches with the top three teams in each division entering a playoff that will eventually result in a champion.  

Nothing has been confirmed, as calls to their agent have not been returned, but it is believed TCoS fan favorites the legendary Quate Kings are rumored to be taking part in this inaugural season.  The Quate Kings, ever the ambassadors of the game, will be entering 2017 with their busiest schedule on record with the three big tournaments and the Terrace Spring Season.  The members of BSC are comprised of many talented individuals, so it will be interesting to see how the Quate Kings can compete in a new environment...one of the many developing story lines that will make up this history making season.  

The desire of the BSC is to bring together members of the Medford area and surrounding communities to socialize around the shuffleboard table and experience all the wonders that come with participating in competitive shuffleboard.  We wish all the best to the members of BSC.  We hope they come to realize how special  the journey is that they are about to take, and that they have the ability to pay it forward for future generations of shuffleboard players.    

Hello...

Is TCOS still in business?

A Sign of Things to Come?

A sign of things to come? The universe just coming back into balance? A lot less beer consumed?  However you want to view it the Kings took the Dead Rabbits behind the shed and improved their record (5-2) and their point differential (+37) to a league best...48 hours before the gates open and the  3-year old colts make their mad dash for the roses. Personally we think it is a sign of things to come but we will soon find out who will be draped in a bed of roses and be signing "My old Kentucky Home!"

And Down The Stretch They Go!

Kings Blame Booze For Loss

(Riverton, New Jersey) - As of last night, the Kings are officially blaming heavy beer and liquor consumption for their 4th place finish at the Medford Masters. Two Points: Did the Kings not realize those drinks would add up throughout the day long marathon? and, The Kings have won more than a few tournaments when their competitors succummed to the flowing taps.

Be careful - heavy drinking could impair coordination!

Derby Day Set for May 7th

(Riverton, New Jersey) - The Triple Crown of Shuffleboard is happy to  announce  the 5th Derby Day Shuffleboard Tournament will take place May 7th. This is the third and final event in the 2016 Triple Crown of Shuffleboard. The tournament is once again an Invitational, not an Open Tournament. There will be a limit of 10 teams (20 players total) in the tournament. Register now to avoid missing out on this tournament.

There will be food, drinks, and world-class shuffleboard action. Non-playing guests are encouraged to attend, cheer for your favorite shuffleboard team, and watch the Derby.

               

As usual, the tournament format is double elimination. Games are played to 15. You do not have to win by 2. The team coming from the loser bracket will have to win two consecutive games to take the title. The current plan is to have the tournament tip off at 2PM sharp. We will play the first round games and the first two consolation matches. Then, we will break for the Derby (post time 634PM), and re-start at 7PM with the semifinals, moving towards a final around 10PM.

Pretty Big News Up North

(Winnipeg, MA) - If you follow the Winnipeg sports scene at all (and i think most of you do), you've probably already heard the big news about the Blue Bombers going back to Royal Blue. Regardless, we felt it was newsworthy and wanted to let anyone who missed it in on the big news.

Regular Season starts June 24.

What A Fine Tailor They Have On Bennington!

Damn It Feels Good To Win The Masters.

Dead Rabbits Start, Finish Strong To Take Medford Masters

(Medford, New Jersey) - The Dead Rabbits took down some of the area's top teams in succession yesterday. Early on, the Rabbits dispatched Dos Amigos with some fine play. After a three hour layoff, the table shuffleboard world watched a rematch of the 2014 Terrace Club Spring Season Finals. The Dead Rabbits got ahead early and were able to hold of the legendary Quate Kings. After some action in the loser bracker, the Rabbits cooled down The Steamers in the finals to lock up their place in the Championship Game. Emerging from the loser bracket was No Line Available. The Rabbits showed no mercy and dispatched NLA with a great finishing shot by Dave. It was the first Master's title ever for Dave and the first since 2014 for (now 3 time champion) Death Machine.

The aftermath of Dave's clinching shot.
