Shuffleboard: Bill Slyh Any Doubles

The Bill Slyh Any Doubles Shuffleboard Tournament, slated for Monday-Tuesday, July 8-9, is open to any two players (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.

Entry Fee: There is 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 (LSC) for $10. Join at the shuffleboard courts anytime, including just before signing up for each tournament.

Registration: Sign-up at the courts opens at 8:15 and ends promptly at 9 a.m.

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 suffering another loss or winning that bracket. This tournament is usually finished on Tuesday (rain date on Wednesday), and half the teams are out by Monday afternoon.

For questions, speak with any Shuffleboard staff member.

Important note: OSSA rules require all players wear closed-toe shoes.
