The Bill Slyh Open Any Doubles Shuffleboard Tournament is a two-day event open to ages 16 & older who wish to team up. Amateurs and experts are welcome.
The tournament is named in honor of Bill Slyh, a longtime manager of Lakeside shuffleboard and a truly superior player.
There’s no entry fee, although players must belong to an Ohio State Shuffleboard Association (OSSA) sanctioned club. The best value is to join the Lakeside Shuffleboard Club for $10. Join at the shuffleboard courts anytime, including just before signing up for the tournament.
Sign-up at the courts opens at 8:15 a.m. and ends promptly at 9 a.m. on the first day of the tournament. OSSA rules require all players to wear closed-toed shoes.
All matches are best two out of three games to 75 points. When players win their first match, they’re in the main event bracket and play until they suffer a loss or win the tournament.
If players lose their first match, they’re in the consolation bracket and play until they either suffer another loss or win that bracket. This tournament usually finishes on Wednesday (with a rain date on Thursday), and half the teams are out by Tuesday afternoon.
For questions, speak with any Shuffleboard staff member.
