Hallo liebe Shuffler, aus Rodenbach senden wir allen Teilnehmern herzlichste Grüße und viel Erfolg bei diesem Turnier. Sorry, besonders NATÜRLICH meinen Landsleuten aus Deutschland! Freue mich Euch wieder in der Heimat begrüssen zu können. Hartmut & Christel

Sad to hear that about Russia.

I can see many improvements on the website and it looks great!!

Thank you for the new section "Shuffleboard Strategies"... great!

WOW!! Were we really on that unbelievable trip to Sochi Russia?
YES we were there. We have the wonderful pictures to prove it. It was our first "inaugural" and hope it won't be our last.
The Russian hospitality was excellent. We were treated like we were the Royal Family.
A huge "Thank You" to Jim & Beth Allen from USA and Dieter & Birgitt Hussmann from Germany. We sincerely appreciate their many hours of planning a trip we will never forget.
"Thanks for the Memories"
Rendall & Myrna

Dear Bill and others. Anyone who has questions about International Shuffleboard Association events should first contact their National Shuffleboard President, who will give them all the necessary details about the event including UN team requirements and the selection process.
If they are from a place where no National Shuffleboard Organization exists, then I would be more than happy to entertain any questions or doubts they may have.
For information regarding this tournament including the schedule please click on the above heading called Dieppe. For Questions about the ISA and its operating procedures please click on the above heading called ISA. We are trying our best to please everyone.

A day or two ago we had a query from someone who wanted to play in the Dieppe ISA Singles tournament. They had looked on many websites but could not find the basic information about the tournament that would tell them if they could play, or if they would want to play. I'm sure they were frustrated.

Are we "experts" surprised? Do we care? Perhaps we should all be sure we present the basics clearly. This will help everyone, but especially new players. We want shuffleboard to be attractive, not confusing. For Dieppe could we say "Tournament format is team play, between national teams, team members being chosen by the governing body in a participating country.". Participants to date will be "USA, Canada, Germany, etc., etc., plus a "UN" team.
A few words about selection to the UN team would be welcome, even to me.

Comments anyone?

Congratulations to the ISA for a high quality website. Lots of information well presented! As webmaster for TheShufflersNews (theshufflersnews.wordpress.com) and the CNSA website (www.cnsashuffleboardcanada.org) I have supplied links both to "Dieppe2011" and to the Sochi-Russia article in the "News" section.

Keep up the good work on behalf of shuffleboard!

Murray and I would like to thank Jim and Beth Allen, for the incredible experience of visiting Sochi, Russia. We made many new friends, and look forward to seeing them again. The experience of playing European Open was wonderful. Thank you to everyone who made that happen.
We found the Russians very eager to learn shuffleboard, and look forward to playing with them again.
