I just wanted to remind everyone that ND01 Any Doubles to be played in Deland was postponed until Jan 18th and 19th (Thur/Fri). between ND 16 (which is MTW) and ND 17 (which is also a MTW). It does not show up on the schedule. Hope to see you there.

Please note that Pre-Registration is necessary for the remaining Amateur Tournaments in the Northern District Tournaments (ND14-Any Am Draw and ND16-Any AM Doubles) for the 2023-2024 Shuffleboard Season.  Please Send an Email rodlewis1317@protonmail.com . 

Amateurs must register to ensure there are at least ten teams playing.  If there are not enough teams that register then in accordance with our current Rules, in specific:- 

Rule #6 “Pre-registration will be required as a tournament needs ten (10) teams or more to be played as a doubles event. If less, then ten (10) teams register the event will be played as a singles. A Singles Tournament will require a minimum of twelve (12) players.”

Thank You,

Joseph Inga, President

Northern District Shuffleboard Association

“Please see the 10 Day Notice submitted by Bob Robinson of Hawthorne Shuffleboard Club as well as our State Delegate in the email below.  This 10-Day Notice shall be formally read and discussed at the District Meeting on January 20, 2024, and voted on at our March District Meeting.”

Ten Day Notice

I move to strike Northern District  Standing Rule 6 and renumber each rule subsequent to 6.

Reason:

We need to be encouraging players to participate in tournaments. Especially our district amateurs need to be allowed to play in tournaments without the risk of the format being changed or the tournament cancelled.

In tournaments with low participation, the host club accepts the responsibility of covering the cost of the director or the director can choose not to be paid. We need to have good tournaments for our District Amateurs.
