2018 Mitch-Match Cornhole Tournament Registration

3rd Annual Mitch-Match Cornhole Tournament Registration Open 

Friends and Family,

Wanted to invite you to the Third Annual Mitch-Match Cornhole tournament with the desire to have all members of the family compete.  During a previous get-together Mick (aka Mitch) Sullivan said to me, “I love seeing all the families come together and making memories especially while doing something competitive.”  From that conversation was born the thought to co-host a cornhole tournament where all are invited to compete.  

Those sentiments especially ring true this year as we are moving to Portland, Oregon shortly after this year's event.  We have been blessed with some many great memories from this event in the previous years Marianne and I thought this would be a perfect way to "say good bye" or better yet "see you again" with one last tournament.  So even if you can't compete this year we hope you can stop over and raise a glass with us as we close out our time in Medford. 

Provided we have enough people, we are thinking of having three separate tournaments with the following categories: 

1. Kids (16 and under)
2. Mixed (combination of kids and adults)
3. Adults Only

Click here to register your team as space is limited. Individuals are allowed to compete in a maximum of two categories.  Each category will be a double-elimination with each game being won by the team that gets to 21 first. The hope is to start the day at 1pm with a BBQ set for around 5pm. We will have the pool open and other games for the kids to play as the day progresses.   We hope you can make it and we hope to build upon the thought that spurred this day to happen; let’s get everyone together and make memories through competition.  If you plan on attending, please supply us with the following:

• Quantity (Qty) - The number "1" represents one team.
• Name - Please supple the name(s) of participants and their team name
• Phone Number - Please supply a phone number we can send a text

We are also looking for help with some of the food and supplies to make this day a successful one.  If you have the opportunity please click here to sign up for bringing some of the provisions needed to make this be one for all to remember.  

P.S. Let me know if you have a cornhole set to use...might need more than the two we have currently.

Thanks and hope to see you on Saturday July 7th!

Match (aka Matt Halt) and Mrs. Match (aka Marianne Halt)

Date: 07/07/2018 (Sat.)
Time: 1:00pm - 9:00pm MDT
Location: 14 Bennington Dr., Medford NJ 08055

Family Night 2018

The Playoff picture is set with the final matches to be played on Friday June 22nd to determine the 2017-18 BSC Champions.  The evening will begin with the doors opening at 5:30 PM for Family Night where all BSC Members, their families and guests are invited to attend an evening of fun and family. We will have the grill working with food and drinks for the whole family along with the pool and lawn games (like Ladder Ball, Corn-hole and Can Jam) available to stoke the competitive spirit as the real fun begins at 8:30 with the first match of the evening.

We ask that all that plan on attending partake in the community spirit of signing up for something to bring for the BBQ.  The sign-up sheet can be accessed with the following link.  [NOTE: There are several tabs to this document, please make sure you go to the "FamilyNightFood" tab] Please sign up for one or two items so we ensure enough food and libations are available for all.

Sign-up for bringing food 

Lastly, let's get to the serious business of Shuffleboard.  The first match will be our Toilet Bowl showcasing the skills of the National League's Barney & Fred squaring off against the American League's Young Bloods.  This game will start promptly at 8:30 PM in Papa Joe's Pub.  Rumor has it that the loser (or actually the winner of the Toilet Bowl) of this match might get regulated to permanent substitute status for the upcoming season but the BSC Board of Governors hasn't made it an official topic on their August Summer Meetings...more to come!  Next we have the National League Championship with first place and undefeated Courts United going against These Guys.  Then we will have fan favorites, world renown Quate Kings playing the red-hot We'll Do It Live!  Winners of each of the last two games will see each other in the winner take all Championship for the Inaugural BSC Crown.  Legend has it the winners will take a celebratory plunge in Kids Rule Pool if they wish to ensure another winning season!  

Looking forward to all the activities on Friday and mostly looking forward to sharing some time with you and your families.

2018 BSC Playoff Picture

2018 BSC Playoff Picture is Clear

Click to enlarge

There is nothing like playoff Shuffleboard!  The 2018 BSC season draws to a close as we completed the 8th month of the season and every game needed to be played to determine where all the dust was going to settle.  We saw last place teams move up into the playoffs and third place teams take themselves out of contention.  It is why you lift all of those weights...why you don't count the score until the last quate is thrown...it isn't over until the Quate Kings win it all...maybe slightly pre-mature!  

Either way, we know who is moving on and we know who is playing for the right to take a dip into the cement pond!  To everyone's surprise These Guys have a chance to win it all and go from last to first with a playoff win.  We have last year's National Champs playing in the Toilet Bowl.  With all of that chaos we do have the consistency of the Quate Kings winning their division and seemingly destined to play the regular season undefeated champs of the National League, Courts United.

One thing is for sure, Thursday May 10th will be a fun-filled evening with lots of quality shuffleboard to be played.  Here is the schedule for the nights matches:

8:00 PM - We'll Do It Live vs. El Diablo & the Magic Man

8:30 PM - No Hair Club vs. Barney & Fred

9:00 PM - Young Bloods vs. Big & Stahl

10:00 PM - These Guys vs. Dr. Kershaw

10:30 PM - Consistently Inconsistent vs. Shuffalupogus 

***SAVE THE DATE: Family Night/Championship Night will be June 15th of June 22nd***

As tradition would have it, the Thursday before the start of the actual tournament Papa Joe's Pub plays host to all that wish to attend as we honor the 2017 Champions with a dinner in their honor.

On Thursday April 5th, Papa Joe's Pub will still host our normally scheduled BSC monthly session but we open our doors to non-members (all Terrace Members are encouraged to attend), all 2018 Medford Masters participants and of course all members of the Green Jacket Fraternity.  We will use the evening to honor the 2017 Medford Masters Champions and who also happen to be 2016 Champions...the Dead Rabbits.  

The menu selected by the members of the aforementioned championship squad  certainly took a decidedly distinct regional palette with sauteed Willamette Valley Brush Rabbit in a Pinot Noir reduction sauce complimented with grilled asparagus and poached pears.  To finish the meal you will have your choice of a plate of various Tillamook Cheeses or Moonstruck Chocolates complimented by Stumptown Hazelnut coffee. Oh, yeah...we will have some beverages from Great Notion Brewery...like we would have forgotten.  

We aren't sure what got into the Dead Rabbits but we certainly do appreciate their elevated standards as it only makes the statement...A Tradition Unlike Any Other...that much more true.

BSC: 2018 Super Bowl Squares (Updated)

And the Winners Are...!?

(Click to make larger)

With the Super Bowl complete the following are the winners for BSC's Super Bowl Squares:

First Quarter with a score of the Eagles 9 and Patriots 3 (Halt - $25)
Second Quarter with a score of the Eagles 22 and Patriots 12 (Curilla - $25)
Third Quarter with a score of the Eagles 29 and Patriots 26 (Halt - $25)
Fourth Quarter with a score of the Eagles 41 and Patriots 33 (Halt - $125)

---

As if Super Bowl Squares weren’t exciting enough on its own…can we all say Super Bowl!   Minnesota in February never sounded so nice…it cannot get here any faster!  The BSC would like to thank all of those that participated in this SB Sqaures and wish all the luck, but not too much as we want to save some for the Eagles!  With a total pot of $200, the breakdown will be $25 for the first quarter, halftime and the third quarter.  Allowing a grand amount of $125 for the final score.  This means if the fourth quarter ends in a tie, we will not pay out on that quarter and await a final score.  Any questions?
