Sandy's vision and hard work is still evident (See http://www.trigger.net/~sandy/home.htm). I believe The World of Shuffleboard was the very first website devoted to shuffleboard, and it must have spurred the Florida folks to get cracking and create their own sites (the FSA and Allen-R-Shuffleboard). The last updates seem to be circa 2002. Then came The Shuffler (www.theshuffler.org) a phenomenal website by Al and Stan, and recognized internationally. It became a major source of Canadian, American and International shuffling news and information for everyone.

When The Shuffler was shut down in May of 2010, it spurred the almost immediate birth of both this site (The Ontario Shuffler) and the CNSA Shuffleboard Canada website. Then the ISA website sprang up in October of 2010. When we realized there was a significant demand to get some news articles reported quickly, the CNSA sponsored the creation of the web-log The Shufflers News, which is frequently updated by e-mail.
