The Canadian Game of Crokinhole [Video]

Crokinhole is a tabletop game that is popular in Canada. It involves flicking small disks at a hole in the center of a circle while hitting one’s opponent’s disks and not hitting your own.

CBC News reports that an American, Connor Reinman, had won the annual world championships for two years in a row. He’s a graduate student in Indiana and, like many top crokinhole players, is a math guy.

USA! USA! USA!

Alas, it appears that American hegemony in crokinhole has come to a close. If I understand the results page correctly, the champion at world-level event yesterday is a Canadian named Shawn Hagarty.
