DeLand Shuffleboard Club hosted the 2025-2026 Masters.

It was a huge success and the reviews are in. LOL

The NY Times
"This was probably the best Masters Tournament in the last 20 years"

Washington Post
"This reporter has never seen a better directed Masters or a better award ceremony. Hammer stole the show. We need more Hammer!"

LA Times
"Luckily I was given the assignment to attend the DeLand Shuffleboard Clubs Master tournament. The food and decorations were magnificent. The MC was excellent. This was as good or better than this year's Academy Awards."

The DeLand Beacon
"This reporter has never seen a better run event in my entire career. The team worked so well together you would have thought it was choreographed. I am booking this team for my next event."

Enjoy the pictures from the ceremony.

Here are a few photos from Day 1 of the 2025-2026 North District Masters tournament held in DeLand 🤠

Here are the results for yesterday's ND21 No Two Pros tournament held at our great courts. Our Deland Club, AKA Deland Concrete Curling Club for this tournament (Lol), finished great! 1st in main - was Brad & Val Simons, Joe Barber & Stan Williamson came in 2nd, and David Strock & myself (Barb Allen) came in 3rd. Both of the final matches went 3 games and were nail biters! Thanks to Chris Inga for directing this tournament and thanks to everyone for playing. We had 33 teams, and it was very well ran & organized.

Brad Simons got a laugh out of his DCCC name change during his opening welcome. Good One Brad!!

Here are the results for the State tournament in Hawthorne yesterday and today. Congrats to David Strock and Larry Whalen for their 1st place Main win. Wtg you two, heard there were tough teams and lots of great games. That is all the news I have on that. Hope Chris Inga had a win too.

It was fun having extra players at our courts today and yesterday. Everyone is gearing up for our tourney Thursday. Happy days all... :)
