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.

Kings Walk Through Medford Masters...Eye Triple Crown

(Medford, NJ) - It was a wonderful day at Augusta North. We were back at the new/old/ancestral home of the Medford Masters. Life on Bennington was good for the Quate Kings. Four straight wins gave the Kings their second major title of the 2015 TCoS Season. There were a lot of battles early on, but no one could touch The Kings. "Revised Rabbits" were re-named "Family Emergency" mid-way through the tournament as Scott picked up Sandhun as a teammate. Few knew that Sandhun has been playing table shuffleboard in the Sri Lankan professional league for 23 years. Even so, the Kings finished with a 21-9 victory over their ethnically-diverse adversaries.

The Kings are now better than even money favorites to win the Triple Crown. Can anyone stop them?

The Kings pose with a random guy after clinching their second major of the season.

Looking Ahead...TCoS 2015 - A Few Promises

(Riverton, NJ) - Yes, we are at the low-point of the offseason. It seems as if the next TCoS season will never come. Rest easy, next Spring, we will be doing our business on the butcher block. There are always surprises, but here are three things you can bank on:
1) Rick will talk about maybe not having a tournament. Then, he will make a late-February announcement of the the 12th Annual MMST.
2) The Masters will be in Medford.
3) Floyd "Money" Mayweather will take a break from punching girlfriends, and agree to a mega-fight for May 2nd. As is tradition, Floyd's fight will start right after the conclusion of the Derby Day Shuffleboard Tournament.

This will happen, guaranteed. You can bank on it.

No Molly In Da Club

(Riverton, NJ) - You won't find any MDMA use at our Derby event. Last year, the closest thing i saw to contraband was someone selling small Snickers bars labeled "Not For Individual Sale".
Guess which of these guys would later test positive for ecstasy?

Vin Scully Will Be Back For Another Year

(Los Angeles, CA) - Vin Scully is staying in the booth for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 86-year-old Hall of Fame announcer will return for his record 66th season with the team in 2015. The announcement was made by in Korean, Spanish and English by players Hyun-Jin Ryu, Yasiel Puig and Justin Turner on the Dodger Stadium video board in the second inning of Tuesday night's game against Atlanta.

The news was greeted with loud cheers and a prolonged standing ovation for Scully, who stood and waved to fans from his booth, where he hugged his wife, Sandi.

A decision about Scully's future has become an annual rite of passage in recent years as he evaluates his health and his family's wishes in considering whether he wants to continue.
T
 TCoS will have to wait at least one more season to have Mr. Scully call our events.

Tiger Woods To Miss (Golf) Masters

Tiger Woods will miss the Masters after undergoing back surgery earlier this week for a pinched nerve that has been hurting him for several months, the world's No. 1 player said on his website.
It will be the first time in 20 years that Woods will not play in the event. "After attempting to get ready for the Masters, and failing to make the necessary progress, I decided, in consultation with my doctors, to have this procedure done," Woods said in the statement.

"These Go to Eleven"

The Kings have taken 7 of 11.

It's In The Books

(Lumberton, NJ) - The Quate Kings wrapped up their 7th title at the 11th Annual Pop's Pub Shuffleboard Tournament.

Can either Rick or Matt take the Triple Crown?
It's a Big Money Game and these guys are Big Money Players.

Website Continues to Function Flawlessly...

(Riverton, NJ) - We didn't realize it was such an accomplishment. It turns out some people aren't able to keep their web sites operating as smoothly as the TCoS site. Our site has been functioning well for over a year without even one full-time staff member.


When someone asks, you can say, "Yes, we have a website."

Save the Pro Bowl!

(Honolulu, HI) - Progress threatens to change our greatest All-Star contest, the annual Pro Bowl. For years, true football fans knew the real action came the week after the Super Bowl. A few years back, Roger & Co. decided to move the Pro Bowl to the week before the Super Bowl. The effect was that even the players losing the conference championship games would look for a way out of the Pro Bowl.  Now, the NFL is changing the format of the game, instituting a captain's draft and eliminating kickoffs.

The answer is simple, keep the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. Return it to after the Super Bowl. Allow the game to occupy its rightful position as the premier all-star contest in all of sports.

SAVE THE PRO BOWL!

Matt Wins Triple Crown & 50 Million Dollar Bonus

(Riverton, NJ) - On a night that felt more like a coronation than a contest, Matt H entered an exclusive club. By winning all three TCoS events, Matt joined Rick G. as the only winners of the prestigious Triple Crown of Shuffleboard.

Some cynics have commented that, with two winners in two seasons, winning the Triple Crown of Shuffleboard is not as great an achievement as baseball's Triple Crown. The naysayers are wrong. There was a 45 year gap between Carl Yastrzemski and Miguel Cabrera. However, before Yastrezemski's Triple Crown in 1967, Frank Robinson won it in 1966, just a year earlier. Additionally, in 1933, the Triple Crown was won in both leagues...both by Philadelphia players! Philadelphia Athletic Jimmie Foxx won the AL Triple Crown while the Phillies' Chuck Klein won the NL Triple Crown.

What's the lesson? Winning a Triple Crown is a huge feat. But sometimes huge feats come in bunches.

Winning the Triple Crown and collecting the 50 million dollar bonus.

2nd Annual Derby Day Shuffleboard Tournament Recap

(Riverton, NJ) - Our heroes lived up to their name. The Quate Kings won while barely breaking a sweat. Never threatened, they rolled off three wins to take the the title before Mayweather even left his locker room. Runners-Up REO Teabaggin' put forth a valiant effort in the final game, but the Kings showed to be in a class of their own.. The rest of the field has their work cut out for them if they hope to challenge the Quate Kings next year.

The Kings celebrate and prepare to enjoy krimpets.

TCoS Encourages You To Choose Public Transportation

(Riverton, NJ) The Triple Crown of Shuffleboard would like to remind competitors and spectators to park your car and use public transportation. The tournament site is a short 5 minute walk from the Riverline's Riverton station.

Royal Discord ?

(Riverton, NJ) - The Quate Kings may be feuding.
Since announcing their participation in Derby Day 2013, everything coming out of the Quate Kings' camp has been positive. Until now. A highly placed source says their are some awkward feelings between these two shuffleboard legends. No one wants to go on the record, but it seems Matt's potential Triple Crown is testing their professionalism. Last year, Rick won the Triple Crown. If Matt wins this year, does it diminish Rick's achievement last year? We hope that when the games start, all of this drama won't matter.




Are these two kings fighting?

TCoS Sponsor Gift Bag..Go The Distance

Additionally, the sponsors have decided to honor both those "Going The Distance" as well as the hosts of our three events. A total of six players will be honored.
