Competitive Shuffleboard for all Ages
People from all around the world recently went to Zephyrhills, Florida to compete in The International Shuffleboard Association’s World Singles Tournament. This is a very serious competition between shuffleboard players. Both men and women compete in this tournament. Winners of both genders are crowned and get to take home the ultimate shuffle board prize: The Golden Cue Stick.
What’s really interesting about this competition is that it draws in people of all ages. People traditionally think of shuffleboard as a sport for the elderly. Indeed, there were some octogenarians competing at this event. However, the youngest participant wasn’t even old enough to drive yet so it’s really a sport that is alluring to all ages when it reaches this level.
You might think that the winners of the competition get some cash money for their efforts. You’d be wrong. You really have to love the game to compete because the only prize is that Golden Cue Stick and the acclaim of other shuffle board players. That doesn’t mean that it’s just a friendly game though. The competitors are serious. Shuffleboard game rules must be followed. And the winners gain the respect of shuffleboard players from around the entire world until new winners are named next year.
