i had never thought of shuffleboard and trick shots together, but i suppose you can do it.  i caught this one floating on youtube, the spinning quoit that goes all the way around the object quoit is my favorite. 

these don’t take into account last saturday’s activity, but they’ll give you a sense of how the Mt. Carmel Shuffleboard League’s season is shaping up so far . . .

Dorkos 42-12

Clovers 40-14

Centralia Legion 29-25

Eagles 18-18

Atlas legion 21-24

Americans 24-30

MC Legion 19-26

Wilburton 20-34

West End A 16-29

West End B 14-31

the numbers given are games won and games lost, so each game counts.  it’s not a matter of win more games than the other team on a given night, and you get a single checkmark in the “win” column. 

the shuffleboard plaque is returning to the trophy case at Dorko’s!!

two weeks ago the season came to a close with Dorko’s narrowly besting the Clover Hose in the final standings. 

then, the past two weekends saw shuffleboard action all over town as the league tournament was held.  in the end, Dorko’s and the Clover Hose found themselves matched in the finals.  and, although the Clover’s jumped out to a strong lead, we managed to come back grab the victory in the end. 

excellent job guys!!!

it turns out my info on the standings was a week old ?!!  so, we weren’t in first place heading into tonight’s contest.  instead, we were in 2nd, by a point (Clovers 35-10, Dorkos 34-11).

tonight, the lead changed hands, as Dorko’s came out with a 6-3 victory, giving us first place in the Mt. Carmel Shuffleboard League standings. 

a quck glance at the shuffleboard standings shows Dorkos with a 29-7 record followed by the Clover Hose with a 26-10 record. 

these two teams meet in this week’s marquee match-up of the Mt. Carmel Shuffleboard League – at Dorko’s Cafe.  the match begins at 7-ish.   

a brief glimpse of the Mt. Carmel Shuffleboard League Standings reveals that Dorko’s is tied for first place and the Centralia Legion is as close as you can get, a mere win away in third.  here’s some info:

Dorko’s Cafe 21 – 6

Clover Hose 21 – 6

Centralia Legion 20 – 7

Jac’s 17 – 10

shuffleboard action will be resuming shortly!
