We asked the league founder J. Ross:

"What better reason to get out of the house on a cold winter night than to drink beers with your neighbor and play a friendly, competitive game of shuffleboard? It's such a relaxing environment - just a great way to unwind after a long day at work. Plus, everyone is really cool, and quite frankly, the game is just wicked fun, and addictively competitive."

If you're new to Bar Shuffleboard, the game goes like this: 

Each player alternately take turns sliding, by hand, all 4 of your weights against the ones from your opponent. Try to make it to the highest scoring area on the shuffleboard without falling off the end of the board into the alley. In order to earn points, your weights need to be the farthest down the board. Some of the strategy and fun really comes into play when you knock off your opponents' weights, outdistance them or use your weights to protect your other highest scoring weights. The first team to reach 21 wins the game.

If you'd like to give it a try, getting a team into the league is easy - just round up a friend, choose a team name, and fill out the online registration form.

We post up the schedule a week before opening day, and your team will play 1 night a week (usually a doubleheader) on a Mon, Tues, Wed or Thurs for an 18-game season. Top teams qualify for the playoffs. 

So start reaching out to your friends and get your shuffle on - the cold winter season will be here before you know it. We'll see you at the bar!
