This year’s Crokinole tournament attracted 103 unique players and 167 total entrants, with 433 games played. The four Heats drew 52, 41, 36, and 38 players respectively.
With suggestions from the previous year, Crokinole qualifiers changed from a straight elimination bracket where half the players were eliminated in the first round to instead matching players against 5 opponents over the course of the qualifier. While it did limit the number of players due to board availability, the guaranteed 5 games in each qualifier was well received and this structure will be put forth again next year.
The top 16 players moved on to compete in the single elimination bracket with Zachary Morris emerging as the top Crokinole player at WBC.
We look forward to seeing you again in 2025. If you have a Brown Castle board, we welcome you to bring it to the tournament so we can host even more players!
