2019 Final rankings from the International Shuffleboard Association World Championships from Vienna, Austria.
Fabienne Fluck of Germany took the Golden Cue on the woman’s side. Fabienne is just 15-years-old and obviously has a long and eventful shuffleboard career in her future.
Mats Graff-Wang of Norway, who is in his mid-20’s I believe, took home first place and the Golden Cue on the men’s side. Mats defeated another mid-20’s player in Torben Hussmann for the title. Torben is actually the one who taught me to play in 2013. His father, German Shuffleboard Association President and main reason shuffleboard has become so popular in Europe, Dieter Hussmann finished third.

The finals of both divisions were streamed live on YouTube, thanks to Trevor Hess and Kevin Reedy of the Royal Palms Chicago Shuffleboard Club and Josh Dulabam of the St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club. It was amazing to watch shuffleboard broadcast properly, with live commentary, for the first time. You can watch a replay of the final match, where you can fast forward and rewind at your leisure, HERE.
