Presidents Message

Well the Shuffleboard 2009-2010 Season will soon be upon us. We as a board will be there to hopefully make the season run as smoothly as possible. ED NELSON will be holding clinics for all members during the coming season to certify referees and educate those who do not want to become referees have a better understanding of the rules of the game. It is important that everyone has knowledge of the rules so the games will proceed smoothly without referees. I hope everyone is having a great summer season and return for the fall season.

Tournament Notes

Note********
The Mixed Doubles and Mixed Singles are scheduled a week earlier this coming fall and winter season than originally scheduled. The reason for change is that Sun Vista court Manager requested the change to give them a 1 week break between tournaments because of their hosting ASA league team playoffs in 2010.
