The Wisdom's Shuffleboard competition will take place on October 28th from 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM on the shuffleboard courts.
Wisdom's Shuffleboard is a game that will be played to see how accurate you are. Each team will consist of 1 player and they must be blind or visually impaired or must wear a blindfold. One player will shoot towards one end of the shuffle board. The player that lands their puck furthest towards the far end takes the points, while the opposing player will gain no points. The goal is to get your puck as close to the far end of the table as possible. The winning player counts a total score for any pucks that are further advanced than the opponent's furthest puck. Pucks that land on the same line as the opponents puck are not classified as past the line.Therefore, that puck will not go towards the final score for either player. The first team to score 15 points wins.
