Modified Draw Tournament

Leesburg Shuffleboard Club on  January 23, 2025

On the first day of the tournament men play men and women play women in a singles format of a 12 frame or 75 point game.  However, if the match goes to the third game because of a tie each player will get a hammer on both colors.  If there is still a tie then players will lag for the win.  These matches must be finished the first day.

On the second day the tournament changes to doubles with men and women drawing for partners.  The four main men winners draw for main women partners and the four men consolation winners draw for women partners.  This will be a 16 frame game or 75 points format.  Tie games will be played as above where each player gets a hammer on both colors.  If that game is tied then players will lag for the win.

Hopefully these rules Will explain so players will understand the format.

Carol Helfer.
