Great players! I'd like to see them do this on my grandma's vintage board. The crooked pins and questionable center hole certainly make for an interesting game, especially because we play by her house rules. The one turn opportunity to remove a disc from the center hole before it counts for 20 adds a level of excitement of never knowing where you will be smacked in the face by a full power ricochet
I watched 1 video on carroms because I remembered playing it as a kid and suddenly all of these obscure (to me at least) games keep popping up on my feed and tbh.....its kinda awesome.
Good players. Steven was clearly the better player the entire time. That, or Henry was having an off day. Excited to get my board. It is only a Mayday board, but a good quality entry level board is still better than no board at all. Speaking of boards… Do they have to be made of wood for official play? Because I had the thought that there are materials that can be cast that may provide an equivalent experience. Like resin, which can be made into so many colors. Or go for a weird experience with silicon.
I've never seen this game before in my life. Might have been less confusing if their uniforms weren't exactly the opposite color scheme as their pieces. Are they making points for each other? Do you win through the power of friendship?
With no opponent's discs on the board, his disc had to land within the 15 point ring or at least touching the 15 point line to be considered a valid shot.
@@BrownCastleGames Thanks for the answer. Do you know if that is an official rule? Or a tournament rule? We have never played that way. A disc on the board stays on the board unless knocked off. Makes for some tricky long shots.
@@ish175 Yes. Here are the official rules: nationalcrokinoleassociation.com/resources/rules.html 3) Valid Shot A) Definition i) If any opposing discs are in play, at least one of the shooter's discs must strike an opposing disc either directly, or by bumping one of his/her discs already in play into an opposing disc. ii) If there are no opposing discs in play, then the shooting disc or at least one disc struck during the shot must end up touching or within the 15 line. (The No Hiding Rule) (A 20 is considered within the 15 line) B) lf on any turn, a valid shot is not made, then the shooting disc and all of the other discs that were struck, including any 20s made, shall be removed, considered out-of-play, and shall not score.
@@ish175 While there are official Crokinole rules, players are encouraged to use their own rules. I played on old boards with super-shallow 20 holes, and my family always played that a 20 stayed in the hole until knocked out by an opponent. If a ring (yes, we played with rings, not disks) was in the hole at the end of the round, it counted for 40 points.
Games can be played in a specific number of rounds or most commonly in finals they are played to a specific number of points (like 7) with players earning 2 points for a win, 1 for a tie, or 0 for a loss.
Hey Silvia, this wasn't an NCA event, but you are correct the NCA rules do state that to prevent players from moving or shaking the table to gain an advantage. None of the players were attempting that. These tables were also larger than would normally be used and they were also very heavy and stable so that wasn't a concern.
Scoring isn’t too hard. The hole is 20. The circle with the pegs is 15. Middle ring is 10. Outer ring is 5. If the disc is touching a line, it scores for the lower scoring region. If the disc is ever worth 0 points (by touching the outer most circle on the board) then it is pulled off the board. Simple enough?
Playing for the first time did remind me of the first time I played darts haha. "I don't really know the deeper gameplay here so I'm just gonna aim for the middle when I can and we'll just see what else happens." :)
It's commonly called "fast powder" commonly used on crokinole boards and shuffleboards to provide speed and consistency while shooting. It's a product made from a mixture of silicone and corn.
As an official tournament next year, I'm guessing there is going to be a lot more competition. WBC 2023 will be July 22 to July 30 with crokinole likely happening that final weekend. Hope to see you then!
Can't you move cheeks, you just have to have a cheek touching on your shot? I didn't see chairs move during a round but maybe I missed a small shift or somethin.
Steven is violating the “one cheek” rule, lifting and shuffling is entire butt repeatedly!!! This is completely embarrassing to watch. Even has to move his chair back in placed on multiple occasions. Must be Spanish Crokinole. wait Henry does it @ the 8:50 min mark so maybe the kids play it different nowadays. If I did that, I would have been world champion from 1971-1983!

Such a great game. I’m so glad you guys got this tournament going at wbc.

Idk wtf I just watched, but that shot at 12:57 was nasty
A great double take-out! 👏 How about that shot at 3:19 to tie the round. 🙌
@@BrownCastleGames i didnt understand what happaned there haha
Who made the board? Looks gorgeous and seems butter smooth
We make them. You can check them out at BrownCastle Games.
I’m making my own soon out of maple or mahogany. Should be a fun easy project for me.
Great Match !!! 🍻🍻

Haha that's very observant. Here are the rules how to play! ua-cam.com/video/-2cCZ5WFUak/v-deo.html
Can someone explain to me why the shot at 0:28 was swept off the board?
Shouldn't it stay where it landed because there were no white pieces in play?

Is it played in 7 rounds?

Why do they touch the table with both arms? The rules say this is forbidden

Me: ah nice, so the game is about putting all the pucks in the hole, simple enough...
*Score comes on screen: 70 to 55*
Me: O_o

so its kinda like darts but withs discs and board on the table. maybe. sorta. i think.
Playing for the first time did remind me of the first time I played darts haha. "I don't really know the deeper gameplay here so I'm just gonna aim for the middle when I can and we'll just see what else happens." :)
There are similarities. You can watch a full how to play crokinole video here. ua-cam.com/video/-2cCZ5WFUak/v-deo.html
What is the yellow powder they rub the discs in?
It's commonly called "fast powder" commonly used on crokinole boards and shuffleboards to provide speed and consistency while shooting. It's a product made from a mixture of silicone and corn.
Why are they only playing with 8 disc and not 12?
Its normal for tournament play. Plays are shorter and every shot matters.
I heard official rules are 12 discs are split between players on teams; for 1v1 it's 8 discs each. House rules are common ofc.
Go bills
Saying to myself after first 20 seconds: who are these amateurs? 😀

@@BrownCastleGames Did the 2023 get uploaded?
Hey @@richardpointer you can find the 2023 finalists here: ua-cam.com/video/ZI2V49M6oaU/v-deo.html
This seems like one of those games that is SUPER FUN to play, but boring as heck to watch. Like pickleball.
Quack.
Yeah, not real players, with the moving of cheeks and chairs.
Is that in the rules or just tradition? Sincerely asking - we're new to the game and move our chairs if needed...?
Can't you move cheeks, you just have to have a cheek touching on your shot?
I didn't see chairs move during a round but maybe I missed a small shift or somethin.
The guy on the right is shuffling round the room!
@@Law_DoggYou can move in the chair, but the chair cannot move and one cheek must be on the seat.
@ginger is so, so bad at crokinole.
Looks like a poor man's pool. Fewer holes and smaller table.

Is that a real rule in tourneys?
