Thank you: Helen McDade, Provincial Shuffleboard Chairman
Branch Shuffleboard Chairmen and Players,
HAPPY SUMMER/FALL EVERYONE.
The last few tournaments we have had 7 branches participating. Our limit is a total of up to 16 teams.
Since we have not been getting 16 teams, I know a few branches would like to put in 3 teams, but this will depend on how many teams we get at 2 per branch.
The deadline for letting me know how many teams you are sending is Sept. 4th., and the deadline for sending your Team sheets into me is Sept. 18th. The sooner everyone gets their information into me the sooner we will know if there is room for more than 2 teams per branch. If your branch “does” want to send a third team please make a note when sending the team total into me. We may have to do a draw for extra teams, it all depends on how many branches want to send a third team.
To make things easier you can email me your info at hmmcdade@yahoo.ca and when it is time for your team sheets you can also email them. You may bring your Registration Check to the Tournament with you to save trying to mail it. That way I can send everything to Command at one time.
As previously voted on, if we do not have enough teams for 2 divisions, every team will play 8 rounds instead of a full round robin. That way the days will not be as long as usual. This is if we only have up to 13 teams, after 13 we do a Two Division Schedule.
PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL NEW PLAYERS HAVE THEIR MEMBERSHIP CARD OR RECEIPT SHOWING THEIR 2026 DUES ARE PAID. I WILL BE ASKING TO SEE THESE ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY HOPEFULLY BEFORE THE CAPTAIN’S MEETING ON SATURDAY MORNING. IF SOMEONE “DOES NOT” HAVE THEIRS WITH THEM THEY WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO PLAY.
In Comradeship,
Helen McDade
Provincial Shuffleboard Chairman
**MEMO**
If there happens to be something special that you like to drink, it is up to you to call the “HOST” branch and see if they stock it or if they would be willing to stock it for the tournament. It is not the Bartender’s fault if they do not have your brand on hand when you go there. Most branch’s carry what their members drink because no branch can afford to have a big inventory on hand that does not get sold during the year.
REMEMBER IF YOU ASK THEM TO BRING SOMETHING IN PLEASE DO THE COURTESY OF DRINKING IT. IF IT IS NOT SOMETHING THEY WOULD NORMALLY SELL THEN THEY ARE STUCK WITH A PRODUCT THEY CAN’T GET RID OF.

Shuffleboard Committee Chair/Captains:
Attached please find the information for the fall tournament and what I could get for Hotel/Motel information. I was given no rates, just phone numbers and names of Hotels/Motels. This is really not acceptable but it is the Host Branch’s responsibility to get this information to me as soon as they possibly can.
I would also like to clarify the motion to borrow players from your district in order to fill a team.
When this motion was made it stated that: “ if you could not fill a team with players from your own Branch then you could borrow up to 2 players (1 team only) from a branch within your district.”
Also, to let everyone know there is no such thing as any team being “Grandfathered in” to play. If you have more than your allotted number of teams, which is 2 per branch, then you are responsible to have a playoff within your branch. How you do it is up to you, it has nothing to do with me. If after I get the final count on September 4th and there is room I will let the branches know if they wish to put more teams in.
I will be away on a much needed vacation from September 20 – 26, but will be reachable via email only. Please do not leave me messages on my home phone because I will not be back in time to look after them before the tournament.
Lets have a good tournament and leave your branch “whining” at home. Everyone will be there representing their branch and also to have a good time and show sportsmanship. They do not want to hear about your problems with your branch, we all have our own, but this is not the place to air them.
Thank you and I look forward to seeing everyone in October.
Helen
