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.
