The Triple Crown of
Shuffleboard is happy to announce the 6th Annual Derby Day
Shuffleboard Tournament will take place May 6th. This is the third and
final event in the 2017 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. 2016 Champions The ‘77ers await your challenge. If I missed anyone
on this message, please forward to them.
Cost is $50 per team,
with all $50 going toward the cash prizes. 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. After last year’s debacle, we will insist
on 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 646PM), and
re-start at 7PM with the semifinals, moving towards a final around 10PM.
Floyd Mayweather (the
boxer) has the night off again. Filling in for the second year in a row is Canelo
Alvarez, who will fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Boxing enthusiasts may be
interested. Everyone else, not so much.
Hopefully you’ll come
join us for this great day of fun and fellowship. Good team names are required
and uniforms are encouraged. Matching tee shirts will do the trick. We will
also host a practice the Thursday before the tournament. This will allow novice
players to work out the kinks and get a feel for the board.
To register: send me
an email with your team name and names of each team member. Also, please
include any restrictions on the times you are available. No promises, but will
do everything possible to accommodate you. You can send your entry fee check to
my address (below) or via PayPal for this email address. Pass this along
to anyone I missed. Please respond with a yes if you intend to play.
Seeding is blind. Byes
will be given to last year’s finalists. Prizes will be awarded at the
conclusion of the tournament:
1st Prize - $250 cash
and a trophy for each player
2nd Prize - $100 cash
3rd Place - $50 cash
(return of principal)
When: Saturday May 6th
from 2PM
Where: Zimmermann House – First floor Shuffleboard Room
