MEDFORD, Ore. – Two former Californians teamed up to win this

that began on April 30, and ended early Sunday May 1st.
Bill Maxwell of Grants Pass and Bonanza’s Ted Curtice came
from out of the loser’s bracket on zThe Eagle’s tournament
was played on the fraternal organization’s four house boards
with a single game, double elimination format. A whopping 24 teams
showed up for the “Open” tournament that was once again
ran by Rogue River’s Art Eliff. Dan Glasscock handled Saturday’s
team auctions. 
Eliff, who in past years has been recognized by his peers more than
once for his efforts in support of southern Oregon shuffleboard,
deemed the tournament a success. “It’s always a good
tournament and it entices new players to get involved in the game
due to the low entry fee.”
Third place went to Central Point’s Lyle Larson and Butch
Davis of Rogue River with the team of Medford’s John King
and Central Point’s Desi Guches taking fourth. Guches recently
returned to southern Oregon from Washington State. Tied for fifth
place were the teams of Dan Stallsworth from Rogue River and new
player Anna Rose of Medford and White City’s Kenny Rogers
and Glen Johansen of Medford.
The Medford Eagles contributed $200 toward the tournament. Eliff
thanks all who played and contributed to this year’s event.
The Eagle’s hall is considered to be one of the top places
to play in the west.
The state’s players now begin preparations for the annual
Rogue River tournament held at Cattleman’s on the July 15-17
weekend. The annual tournament attracts many out of state players
for vacation and shuffleboard. For more information on this year’s
