I remember Crokinole from the 80's. Marde with on court stabbings, corruption and back alley betting. My younger brother was actually conceived in the bathroom of an underground Crokinole match. Cocaine flowed like Gatorade. Millions were made but it set the sport back decades. Glad to see the professionalism.
I used to play this game at the elite level. The girls, the drugs, the frequently changing hotel rooms, it all got a bit too much. I began to hate myself and what I had become. I decided to give it all up and instead follow Buddhism, I gave away my millions. People said that I’m mad and crazy, but I’ve never looked back and I have no regrets.
@@EternalDeath14 Dick, thank you for sharing your story of bravery. Not many elite players made it out the other end. I just wish more players had your same courage...I have seen too many crying mothers and been to too many funerals.....Being a Crokinolaholic is the monkey that will forever be on my back. Stay strong brother!
I think I’m the only one who actually searched for this video. Been a big crokinole guy since RU-vid recommended it to me last year. It’s simultaneously calming and exhilarating. Definitely gonna get my carpenter friend to make me a board at some point soon.
That was a very refreshing match! Carr plays more uniquely than any of Slater's previous championship competitors and it was probably more fun for him.
Excellent final, great showing by Darren first final and up against Justin can be very proud of his performance. Congrats to Justin. Also thank you Crokinole Centre for bringing a Crokinile fan from Southport, England to the front row of the World Finals, much appreciated.
this tournament was so goddamned exiting i had to have surgery immediately after the finals. ive been through 8 presidents but nothing as memorable as this game.
just got a crokinole board for xmas and sometimes a player ends up with an extra disc like happened at the end here. we just assume the player picked it out of the gutter without thinking. Carr does it as 24:40

Americans are about to go ham with paper football and tabletop coin basketball at the bar later tonight. We also have Sorry, Don't wake Daddy, and the most competitive Chinese Checkers and Monopoly.
they get two points for winning a game and one point each if they tie. First to five wins a set and the match is played best of 3 sets.(sort of like Tennis) Scoring is based on the disks left on the table after all shots are taken. The ring inside the pegs is 15 point the middle ring is 10 points and the outer most ring is 5 points sinking in the hole is 20 points immediately. Each player gets 8 disks every game and must always strike an opponents disk if it is present on the field otherwise the shot does not count. If no opposing disk is present they get what is called a free shot.
