The Kingfish Pub and Cafe hosts an annual team shuffleboard competition just before Thanksgiving in which the winners receive a turkey and the runners-up, a case of beer.
Known as the Turkey Shoot, it’s gone on more than 30 years, perhaps as many as 40, no one’s sure. This year’s contest was held Sunday, November 24th.
If you’d like to watch the videos as they happened in this year’s tournament, here’s the playlist in chronological order

I wrote a piece about the Kingfish seeking Oakland Historic Landmark status in February of 2012
Great documentary. Much better than the spotty recall that has served me so poorly over the last two decades plus of playing in this tournament. I love the Fish. I love shuffleboard. And I love each and every one of you guys. The place and the game are both in very good hands. Long live the Kingfish and long live the Shoot. And a special shout out to G-money, “Welcome to the club G!! You did it Champ!! I am almost as relieved as you. Well done. Now Vic and Aaron N. and Slots and Rico and I all want donuts, rookie. Snap snap.”
