Good morning, We're having our 5th annual crokinole tournament this year at my office's Christmas party. I've been tasked with organizing it. The person who...
First, I recommend killing the 100 point rule and just going 4 rounds. If teams are tied, then go an additional 2 rounds. Going last is a significant...
We play at work during breaks and lunchtime. In order to make things move along we restrict the play to six shots per team. So whether you have 2, 3, or 4...
I guess I should have said that we have at least 5 tables to play on. Really I just need to know the time frame it takes to play a game. 20-25 minutes seems...
... on. ... That is my experience, but we play pretty deliberately. In a tournament, play seems to slow down a lot. Cutting the number or shots in half seems...
... In my very limited experience, the way Stan & Carl arranged the tourney at Euro Quest last month worked very, very well, and was very fairly done. Every...
On Wed, 08 Dec 2004 13:15:58 -0500, Joe Casadonte ... Good idea. Tournament scoring works like this: 2 points for winning a board 1 point each for tying a...
... They did that, plus: * each person leads once (i.e. 4 rounds) * count the # of 20's over all 4 rounds, to use as a tie-breaker Worked well. -- Regards, joe...
As Joe pointed out, my brother Carl and I ran a crokinole tournament at Euroquest a few weeks ago. We had eight teams. We set it up as two brackets of four,...
This sounds vaguely similar to the scoring rules of Curling. Larry ... They did that, plus: * each person leads once (i.e. 4 rounds) * count the # of 20's over...
Played 3P Crokinole for the first time yesterday, on a custom board, and when we went to play, we realized we had no idea how to do it, really. Do you go for...
... board, ... Here's the way we play 3P Crokinole: - You must hit any one opposing disc when shooting if available - Same rules about lying on or within the...
... I guess this answers who bought the other three-player board shown on the Hilinski's site. Mike Gingold bought the other and, if all goes as planned, I...
Hello everyone, I am quite new to the game of crokinole, but am already quite taken by it. I am already considering signing up for the world championship...
Good afternoon. I was planning on goning myself but the CSSRA rowing championships are the same weekend (terrible timing). Unfortuneately my wife would not...
I'm considering joining in all the fun too. I'm not sure if i'm competative enough or not... is there an online crokinole game we can play, maybe suggest to ...
My 5-hole Crokinole board (thanks, Carl!) finally got play this weekend, and the game is terrific! There are four holes in the 10 point area, and any disk...
Hi, My name is Tom Mechler and I live in Vermont which I guess is close enough to Canada that this game has slipped over the border. I was introduced to the...
... Hey Tom, Ebay might be your best bet for that price. Personally, if you already know that you love the game and it's something you and your family will...
Hi Tom - I would recommend checking out www.hilinski.net . Beautiful boards at a resonable price (about $150 inc. shipping), although admittedly that is...
Good morning. The best comment I could make is "that any board is better than no board". That being said there is an amazing appeal that goes along with owning...

I got a Sawdust Jim board, and I've played on some nicer boards. I would recommend his boards for a beginner. The differences are mostly cosmetic. Negative...
... Not exactly true. The Stratford from Crokinole.com is a step up and it's $125 US. I've only played on one Sawdust Jim board. The problem I had with it ...
On Thu, 17 Feb 2005 12:43:29 -0800 (PST) ... As the next price step up is arguably the Hilinski boards at ~$150 all told (~30% comparative premium), is there...
Well, One thing I'm sure of is that you are a bunch of very good people here in this group. I'm impressed by the response that I've gotten. I want to get a...
... Well this is a great game that we all enjoy. We don't agree on which board is best. We don't even agree on which rules are best, but we all agree that...
On Fri, 18 Feb 2005 03:24:34 -0000 ... Here follows two unpublished blog entries I made last year to help bring clarity to my own views as I was (am) thinking...
One place you might check out is Miracle Ventures, who are in British Columbia. http://estore.websitepros.com/794270/Search.bok?category=Boards They have a...
