Schedule
9 am start time

Check-In
½ hour before start time

Fees
$7.00 per event

Entry Regulations

1. Men and women compete together.
2. All ages compete together.

Format

• Singles competition is played with a four-handed partnership game.

Sports Rules:
Strategy of Euchre

• The fairly probable tricks in the hand usually justify "taking action." It is correct to expect a partner to furnish one trick. Any three trumps are a "take" and A or K is a fair try. At 0-0 score, however, neither opponent or dealer should accept the turn-up without three very probable tricks, for his/her side will have first chance to make it if the turn-up is rejected. For the same reason, dealer should take it up if he/she can, even at some risk.
  
• Advanced scores often compel special tactics. With the score 4–2 or 4–1, the side "at the bridge" (having 4 points) will often accept the turn-up regardless of the cards. The idea is to be the maker; opponents can then score at most 2 points for euchre. But if an opponent becomes the make, he/she might play alone, make march, and thus win the game.
  
• If the opening leader has two or more trumps, he/she should usually lead one. Otherwise he/she should usually open plain suit in which he/she has no high card, rather than one in which he/she has. In following to a lead, try to win the trick (or let your partner win) at all costs. Holding up a high card for a possible later trick in a suit once led is a losing policy.

Format

• Chairperson acts as Umpire.
• The game is typically played by four players in two partnerships of two players each, although it can also be played with numbers of players ranging from two to eight, individually or in partnerships.
• Use one deck more than the number of players, so for a four-handed game you'd use five 52-card decks plus ten jokers (270 cards).
• Each player is dealt two separate thirteen-card hands. The first is called the "hand", and the second is called the "foot". Initially, each player plays from their "hand", while leaving the "foot" face-down on the table. The "Foot" is not used until the "hand" is empty.
• When drawing from the stock, draw two cards at a time.
• The discard pile may only be taken by a player having a natural pair matching the upcard, or if they're able to add the upcard to an existing meld.

Sports Rules
Play will be governed by official rules of the National Horseshoe Pitching Association (NHPA).

• Each player has two shoes and uses the same pitcher's box. Players pitch both sides in turn at the opposite stake an inning. They then walk to that stake, tally the score and pitch back toward the first stake.
  
• Players flip shoes. The winner decides who pitches first. If there is more than one game, the choice of starting alternates thereafter. Four tosses are allowed as a warm-up.
  
• All matches to be conducted in accordance with the National Senior Olympic Rules. A 15 minute default time will be enforced. The pitcher must stand on one of the pitching platforms. His/her feet must stay behind the foul line until the shoe has left his/her hand. His/her opponent must remain on the opposite side of the stake, either in the rear quarter of the other pitching platform or behind the pitching box, with the toes of one foot touching that platform. He/she must not talk, move or in any way distract the pitcher. Such offense incurs a loss of score in that inning. No player may walk to the opposite stake, or be informed of the position of the shoes before an inning is complete. Once thrown, shoes may not be moved or touched until the scores have been decided. Such an offense incurs a loss that inning.
  
• Cancellation scoring will be in effect. Shoes must be within 6 inches of the stake to score.
  
• Women 50–74 pitch from 30 feet, 75+ pitch from 20 feet.
  
• Men 50–69 pitch from 40 feet, 70+ have their choice of 30 or 40 feet.
