First, Hi to all. Dave clued me in to the existence of this group last night and we held a Croke play-off to see if I got to join or not. (No need to tell...
... Yeah, but we decided to let you in anyway. I did bring my board to SSG last night. Temperature and humidity were appropriate for the board to journey...
... Sure, sure. I just remember 3 crushing victories, including one with a complete rookie as my partner. The only loss came when you forced me to play with...
Pitt: (Summary) When a piece flies against the rail, and knocks pieces off... 1) Leave pieces where they end up, except 2) Return pieces that leave the scoring...
... Well, we were trying to get lesser experienced people involved in playing Croke - so I didn't want to fire my best shots and scare anyone away :) ... Keep...
Hi, This is my first posting to the group, although I've been a member for months. By way of introduction, I grew up playing Crokinole, it's somewhat popular...
... The only issue I have with the "play it as it lands" rule is the potential for players to set up shots which use the ditch as a rebound tool. Surely,...

It actually isn't that difficult, at least on my board, if there are discs already in the ditch. The height of the discs are roughly the same as the height of...
Let's see if we're talking about the same thing. I agree that it's common for a disc to fly across the ditch, hit the wall, and come back on the board. The...
... Actually, I came up with it before I read the WCC rules. It just seems the most equitable of the various options to me. ... No! I demand that you play by...
... What are you doing looking at my bandy, anyway, you perv! ... Don't make me come out there and sweet-talk Bonney... ... That is, admittedly, a rule...
... [...] ... That's an interesting idea. Maybe say it something like: If a disc in play is dislodged by the action of an out of play disc returning to play,...
... for players to set up shots which use the ditch as a rebound tool. Surely, that's not the intention of the rule, but should it then be considered against...
... I don't see how this could be a viable option, as it would be nigh impossible to return a piece to it's original position. I'm personally not in favor of...

... They play like $20 Amazon boards only a little faster. MESPI dust is a topical wax-like coating for your board to enhance the speed and create a level of...
I just wanted to reaffirm my endorsement of Stan's suggestion to use Carnauba wax on your board. My new Grey Owl has had two sessions of use. One straight out...

"I would love to see a small version of Crokinole. Same proportions as regulation, but small enough to fit in a game bag. Say, 9 inches across. Discs, posts,...
Stan said: When I'm at (my brother's) house, ...any disc laying astride the outside ring is not pushed in the ditch but must be shot off. It still counts zero...
