Master Games. For rules to other types of
Shuffleboard visit
their website for more information.
Equipment
A Shuffleboard can be any distance from 12 - 22
feet long but is generally an even number of
feet in length. The height of the table from the
ground should be about 30 inches and the width
20 inches. The surface is polished wood and 6
feet from the end a line is drawn across the
width of the table called the foul line. Two
more lines are drawn across the table nearer the
end at 12 inches and 6 inches called the 2 point
and 3 point lines respectively.
Each player slides 4 uniquely marked, weighted
metal disks down the table called weights.
Play
Players toss a coin to decide who plays first -
it is advantageous to play second. After the
first "end", the winner of the previous end
plays first. Should the previous end have
resulted in no score, the player who went first
previously goes second.
Players slide their four weights alternately
attempting to get them as near as possible to
the end of the board without falling off. If a
weight does not completely pass over the foul
line, that weight is immediately removed from
play. It is normal for a player to deliberately
knock already played weights in such a way that
opponents weights might fall out of play while
the player's weights cannon into an advantageous
position.
Once all weights have been pushed down the
table, the player whose weight is nearest the
far end of the board wins that "end" and scores
points. The other player scores no points. In
order to score, a weight must:
* be on the table
* have fully crossed over the foul line
* be nearer to the end than the opponents best
weight
Any such weight that is overhanging the far edge
scores four points. It is possible to confirm
that a weight is overhanging by passing the flat
face of another weight across the rear edge - if
the weight in question moves, it was
overhanging. Any other qualifying weight that
lands in the first second or third areas scores
1, 2 or 3 points respectively. A weight that
lands on or touching a line counts as being in
the lower scoring area. If no weights are in
scoring positions then no points are scored.
For a two player game, the player who scores 11
points first wins. For doubles, which is played
in exactly the same way as for singles, the team
that scores 21 points first wins.
