Shuffleboard – 2010-2011 Season

the Mt. Carmel Shuffleboard League came to a close a few weeks ago, and this year was like no other!

The Clover Hose had been leading the league for weeks, while Dorko’s kept within striking distance.  (striking distance is also known as “second place”, for anyone keeping score at home). 

when the final week of the season came around, nothing was settled.  the Clover’s had their fate in their own hands.  win out, and take the championship.  stumble, and anything could happen.  but, winning every single game in a match is not something that you can be reasonably expected to do.  and the Clover’s dropped a game midway through, which opened the door. 

Dorko’s couldn’t be expected to run the table either.  and over the course of the night they too dropped a game.  and it looked like hope for the title had been lost.  and then the unexpected happened.  the clover’s dropped another game.  and the room at Dorko’s filled with players from various teams wanting to see how the season would wrap up.

the pressure was on!  and the final Dorko’s shooters rose to the task, and finished the season with a string of winning games.  and where did that leave everyone standing?

Both Teams TIED For First Place !!

In the Shuffleboard League, each invdividual game is counted, and after MONTHS of playing, both teams had the same number of wins!  apparently this the first time that two teams stood at the top of the standings together, and there was no tie-breaking rule in place to handle the situation.  and after much discussion it was agreed that the shuffleboard season was long, and if two teams tied, that’s how it ends. 

Co-Champions!!!

congratulations to the shooters from BOTH teams for your year-long efforts on the board!  it was an excellent season, that was thrilling, and fun!  the only problem is that since the games were so important, i didn’t want to catch anyone off guard with a camera flash, and so we don’t have any picts!  maybe we can get some at the party!
