This was a “mingle singles” format with one group starting play at the foot and one group playing first at the head. “Margin of Victory” points were used to determine winners where there were ties. Only three members were repeat winners. Congratulations to all who participated.

Winners who started play at the foot. 1. Don Waldie – 5 wins
2. Norm Frank – 4 wins – (+167)
3. Val Priebe – 4 wins – (+37)
4. Bob Davies – 3 wins – (+189)
Three other players had 3 wins Audrey Middleton (+130), Ann Balson (+69) and Ken Rohrer (+43)

Winners who started play at the head. 1. Will Capeling – 5 wins
2. John Heron – 4 wins (+190)
3. Larry Spires – 4 wins (+171)
4. Barb Wilson – 4 wins (+103)

Woodstock – Lunch.

Thanks George. Basically, the message is that as far as we know, NO LUNCH WILL BE AVAILABLE AT WOODSTOCK. You are advised to pick up your own lunch before you get there in the morning. One of the two Subway Sanwitch shops may be convenient, as shown on the attached map (jpg file).

A New Beginning

Hello everyone. This is the alternative Ontario Shuffleboard home page. We aim to make it even better than the other Ontario Shuffleboard website, which is currently off the air due apparently to technical difficulties since June 9th, originating with the service provider, Web Hosting World. means we must  take the steps to begin to replace the old OSA website – beginning with an immediate focus on information about this summer’s tournaments and results.

Why the change from previous “The Ontario Shuffler” web pages? After two years of providing us with good service, our hosting service provider (Web Hosting World)  took us off the air immediately after accepting our money ($27.00) for the coming year. Some excuses were provided, including “server problems” but now, just silence.  The OSA website has been off the air for a week, and it appears that Web-Hosting-World does not care. Hopefully WHW can get things working again, otherwise we must permanently switch to a more reliable hosting services company – in this case WordPress.

WordPress has a good track record – reliable service to The Shufflers News for CNSA  Shuffleboard Canada, plus The Coronado/Mainland Shuffler.

So this is it, for now. The “About Us” page is in place, and the Events page which shows the upcoming Ontario tournaments. Click on either menu item located in the “black bar” menu above. Tournament results and other news will be posted via the Home page, and a list of all articles posted is shown on the right sidebar.

The next step is to post information about Ontario Shuffleboard Clubs.

Please make any comments in the box provided below, or email to bill.boyes@bell.net, of shuffleboardbill@gmail.com.

Cheers, Bill Boyes
