Dear Shufflers,
I had hoped to have the April Wrap-Up out by now but I'm still rounding up some tournament results. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll be able to get that out. I've delayed because I want to post for the whole month, otherwise it will become difficult to keep track of what has not been reported and I'm easily confused...so I'm holding off. In the mean time, I do have
something I want to share with you. At this past Spring Tournament
at the Bourbon Legion, Richard Reist from Michigan, shared some old
calcutta sheets with me. I made copies to share at the tournament
and scanned them into my computer to share with you on line. These
can be viewed at http://www.eshuffleboard.com/IN/Indiana_Shuffleboard_Pictures.htm along
with all the pictures that I scanned from Larry Creakbaum. Now..
Internet Explorer will make the images fit your screen, but if you
print it, it will be full sized. To view it full sized, hold your
mouse over the image and a box with arrows pointing in 4 directions
will appear. Click on that and the full sized image will be
displayed.
These calcutta sheets are from
1994 and 1996. It's my understanding that the 1996 tournament was
the largest turnout and largest payout in the history of the
tournament. Unfourtunely no one present could remember who won
either tournament for sure. If you know that information let me know
and I'll post it along with the sheets.
Enjoy. 
You can view the flyers for these upcoming events here:
http://www.eshuffleboard.com/national_schedule.htm MAY 2006 You might notice that the home page of eshuffleboard.com looks a bit different. I'm phazing out the original logo and I'm giong with the script with the addition of two pucks, that I've used in the eNewsletter and PDF versions of the newsletter. I've implemented this change on the main pages and the Indiana pages so far and once the April Wrap-Up is done and I've finished the trophies and t-shrits for the Indiana HOF Tournament, I'll work on the others. If you're in the neighborhood, drop by GI's Town Tavern for this event, June 8th-11th, 2006.
