How to calculate deck shuffleboard points? - Sport & Outdoor - Others

There are several
materials that can be used for shuffleboard courts:



Plastic - easily
installed inside or outside;



Wood - as on the deck of
a ship



Concrete - durable but
hard on the knees and joints



Rubber - which are common
in multi-sport courts that often include courts for tennis, basketball,
shuffleboard, and other outdoor sports.

I believe that the word Deck comes from the world of cruising when shuffleboard is associated with boat cruises and retirement communities

A regulation sized shuffleboard deck is 39 feet by 6 feet, but you can get smaller dimensions for smaller spaces or areas.

Here is a list of shuffleboard penalties:

1. When players slides their own puck beyond the scoring triangle and into the "10 off" zone, 10 points are deducted from that player's total.

2. If a puck is knocked into the "10 off" zone by another player, the player whose puck was knocked into that zone will be deducted 10 points.

3. If a player's puck is touching the line of the "10 off" area on the shooting side before their puck is played, they will be deducted 5 points.

4. For any shot that lands on the sideline or off the side of the board will be deducted 10 points.

5. If any part of a player's body crosses the baseline while shooting a puck, that player is deducted 10 points.
6. If a player accidentally shoots another player's puck, they are deducted 10 points.

The object of the game is to slide your pucks (each player has 4) down the board into marked numbered areas without falling off. A final point goal varies depending on which variation game of shuffleboard you play; for instance a game of Knock Off plays to either 15/21 points while a game of Horse Collar plays to 51 points.

Table shuffleboard is a game in which players push metal-and-plastic weighted weights down a long and smooth wooden table into a scoring area at the opposite end of the table. Shooting is performed with the hand directly, as opposed to deck shuffleboard's use of cue sticks. You can read more about it here: http://www.tableshuffleboard.org/
