Tournaments 2024
HCN Bank Team Tournament 2024
Seven teams competed at the Lakes of Hemet West on September 4-6, with Jay Davidson as the ATM.
A round robin of12 frame games were played, pitting teams against each other that would not normally meet in league play, making for a diverse fun experience, such as unexpectedly last year's first place winner ended up in second to last place! Anything can happen...
Of course, special thanks to the HCN Bank for their contribution to promote shuffleboard in Hemet!
The fourth place was decided by the outcome of the individual matches played between those 2 teams.

Bonspiel Tournament 2024
Hemet Muni is the site of the annual Bonspiel which took place June 3-5. This is a favorite (except for "kitchen shooters") because kitchens don't count! Instead all entrants are divided into 4 divisions based on the first day's two games wins/losses. Then, while competing solely within their own division, they play two games a day for a total of 6.
The winners in each division are determined by the game points (2 points for a win, 1 for a tie, and 0 for a loss). When there are ties for the number of game points, the total spread points determine the ranking.
This year there was a 3-way tie for First Place in Red (all undefeated)! Therefore they were ranked by their spread points.
Special thanks to ATMs Carol Anderson and Alice Beers, Head Referee Ron Dewberry, Head Scorekeeper Carol Blasingame, the Board Crew, the Lunch Crew, and the Grant from the HCN Bank!
