HCN Bank Team Tournament 2023

Eight teams competed at the Lakes of Hemet West on September 6-8 , with Jay Davidson (right) as the ATM.

 

A round robin of12 frame games were played, pitting teams against each other that would not normally meet in league play, making for a diverse fun experience.

​

Of course, special thanks to the HCN Bank for their generous donation to promote shuffleboard in Hemet!

Bonspiel Tournament 2023


Hemet Muni was the site of the annual Bonspiel on June 5-7, 2023.  This is one of my favorites because kitchens don't count.  Instead all 64 entrants play 6 games and are divided into 4 divisions based on the first two game's wins/losses.  The tournament winners in each division are determined by the game points (2 points for a win, 0 for a loss).  When there are ties for the number of game points, the spread points determine the rank.

Special thanks to ATMs Carol Anderson and Jeannie Gregory, head referee George Hayner, head scorekeeper Carol Blasingame, the board crew, the lunch crew, and the donation from the HCN Bank!
