  • I was delighted to find their excellent web site for the first time. I was in need of some supplies before NY Eve and they gave the order special attention and got me the goods when I needed them. It was excellent service supported by individual attention from the head of the Federation.

General Information
2002 Table Shuffleboard World Championships
Free Shuffleboard Table Promotion: The Ambassador, which has a retail value of $4,500, is manufactured by Venture Entertainment and is the official Shuffleboard Table of the North American Shuffleboard Championships™ and World Championship Tournament (WCT™). The drawing for the shuffleboard Table will take place at the 2002 NASC™ on the evening of Friday, November 1. Ticket holders need not be present to win.

All registered players will receive one ticket for each event they enter at both the WCT™ in April 2002 and the 2002 NASC™. Any player attending both tournaments will receive two chances for each event entered at both contests. All players must be registered guests of the Sands Regency Hotel. This promotion is being sponsored by Venture Entertainment of Hillside, New Jersey. Qualifying events at the WCT™ include the Handicapped Draw on Tuesday, the five amateur draws (one per day Wednesday through Sunday), Ladies Singles, Ladies Doubles, Open Doubles and Round Robin Singles.

Pari-mutual betting: One of the most exciting new features of the WCT™ is pari-mutual style betting. This works the same as it does at horse and dog racing tracks. Prior to the start of the Open Doubles, Open Singles, Ladies Doubles and Ladies Singles, you can wager on who you think will finish in the top three (win, place and show). Odds and pay outs are determined by the total amount of money wagered. Additionally, you will be able to make perfecta and trifecta wagers, in which you try to pick the first and second, or first second and third place finishers. In the main event, the $1,000 true round robin singles, you will be able to bet on every game.
