How To Play The Game
Easy to play. No complicated rules. Great fun.
You slide discs along a narrow board and knock them through gaps to score points.
Complete a set, a disc through each gap and you double your score!
A game is made up of 3 rounds. In the first round use all 30 discs. In rounds two and three use the discs not in the scoring area.
Add up your score at the end of the game. Individual or team game. You can play standing up or sitting down.
Scoring
There are four compartments scoring 2,3,4 and 1 points (See the dots above the gaps).These add up to 10 points however when you manage to complete a set* (*a disc in each compartment) you double your score to 20 points. Discs not in sets at the end of the game score the value of their compartment.
Adding Up
You add up at the end of the game. First count the number of sets (20 points for each) then count the value of the discs not in sets. Discs not in sets score the value of their compartment (ie. 2,3,4 or 1).
EXAMPLE 3 sets = 60 points, 5 extra discs in No.2 = 10 points, 3 extra discs in No.3 = 9 points, 2 extra discs in No.1 = 2 points. The game total is 60+10+9+2 = 81 points.
Shuffleboard Tournaments
The most popular form of shuffleboard played in the UK is the team tournament. When players arrive at an event they are organised into teams of three players. They decide on a team name and collect a scorecard. The tournament director gives a brief introduction to the game,how the event works and the tournament starts.To view the slide show go to Click Here To Enlarge Image then click on Slide Show.Great fun, the team tournament is an enjoyable social event.

Shuffleboard Scorers
At tournaments each shuffleboard has a scorer.Teams are coded 'A', 'B' and 'C'. When 'A' teams are playing any member of a 'B' or 'C' team can act as a scorer on any table. In other words, members of non-playing teams always act as table scorers. The table scorer is in overall charge of the game and their decision on 'fouls' and 'scoring discs' is final. At the end of a game they add up the score and write it on the playing teams scorecard.
