FLORIDA SHUFFLEBOARD ASSOCIATION BOARD TWEAKS SOME RULES
President Dave Kudro presided over the Spring State Meeting Saturday, March 17 with aplomb. Of 15 10-day notices, only three received majority support.
. Due to split tournaments resulting in occasional small turnouts, most often on the East Coast, one notice suggested application of a long-sought correction, “no win, no points”. For example, if only 7 teams register, points recently were earned by someone who never won a match. Now, no points can be earned without a win.
. Bunching of the byes, tested in Districts this season, was approved for state tournaments as a way to lessen waiting to play. This should make tournament play more attractive to people who hate to wait.
. The third notice approved was to allow Board voting members to voter for 0, 1, or 2 candidates for Special Award in the Florida Hall of Fame elections, held on alternate years. The one vote limitation often left no election for lack of a majority.
President Kudro has wide support for a goal of seeking more participants in Amateur Tournaments. Suggestions are welcome. One step taken in the Southern District has been two “newbie” tournaments, one in the northern part of the District and one in the southern part. We all realize that the Districts provide the players for the popular State Competitions, but the feeder system for new Amateur players is the various Clubs within the Districts. All are welcomed to join the fun.
