Website design By BotEap.comStandard rules:
Website design By BotEap.com• Before the game begins, you must first decide who throws last, called The Hammer.
• To decide who gets the Hammer, each player throws a disc. The album that is further away gets The Hammer.
• Each player has 4 discs to throw during a round. Typically, 2- or 4-player games are played. During a 2-player game, both players shoot from the same end of the board, in alternating order. The player with The Hammer will shoot second, so they have the last pitch of the round. Once the round is complete, both players rotate to the other end of the board for the next round. The object of the game is to score as many points, during each round, as possible.
• This can be done by placing your own discs in favorable positions or by removing your opponent’s discs from the board.
• The player who reaches 15 points first is the winner.
• In a 4-player game, the teammates are located at opposite ends of the board and the players never rotate to the other end.
• The team that reaches 21 points first is the winner. Website design By BotEap.comPunctuation: Website design By BotEap.com• Only one player (team) can score during a round. The player (team) with the furthest puck receives points. Points are awarded according to the numbered sections of the table.
• The scoring team receives points for each puck that is further away than the furthest opponent’s puck.
• If a puck does not reach the foul line during play, it must be removed immediately.
• If a disc hangs from the end of the board, it is called A Hanger and is worth 5 points.
• The loser of a round always receives The Hammer during the next round, regardless of the total score (ie the winner of the round shoots first during the next round)
• Games must be won by 2 or more points. In a 2 player game, if the score is 15-14, additional rounds continue until one team leads by two or more and is declared the winner.
• If you cannot determine which team disc is further away, no points are awarded. In very closed situations, it is typical to use an outside judge to make the decision.
• It is acceptable to walk around the board and check the positions of the pucks during a round.
• It is acceptable to use shuffleboard powder / wax / sand … only between rounds.

• Game very similar to Curling, except that you can choose anywhere on the table, beyond the foul line.
• Choose a spot on the table that is easily recognizable and won’t move when you hit it (numbers painted)
• Players alternate throws, and the player with the closest puck to the spot wins. If the closing player has several discs closer together, then he scores one point for each one.
• The other big difference from curling is that the first team to reach 9 points wins. In curling a fixed number of rounds is played. Website design By BotEap.comTouch and draw
• In this game, you never want to throw another puck off the board. The objective is still to have the puck farthest from the board to score points. If you hit one of your own records, you lose.
• If you hit an opponent’s puck off the board, your puck is removed and your opponent’s puck is placed back on the board in its original position. If this situation occurs and you also hit one of your other discs in the furthest position, this disc should return to the original positions.
• Advantage is shooting first in this game. If a player wins a round, the opponent receives the first toss in the next round. Website design By BotEap.comHorse necklace
• The opponents are at opposite ends of the board. During a round, a player shoots all eight discs and receives points for all discs in scoring positions.
• Opponent throws all eight pucks and receives points for everyone in scoring position.
• This is continued until one player scores 51 points.
• Each opponent must play an equal number of rounds. So if the first player to pitch reaches 51, the opponent has his round to try to get past 51.
• In 4-player games, teammates are on the same side of the board and alternate throwing discs. Website design By BotEap.comBaseball
• All rules are consistent with regular shuffleboard, except that a fixed number of rounds are played rather than played up to a total of points.
• The player / team with the highest total points after 9 “innings” wins. If the game is tied, additional rounds are played until one player / team wins by 1 point or more.
