Table shuffleboard rules can be a bit confusing for those just starting out. If you're new to the game, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the basic rules before you start playing. There are several versions of shuffleboard. Each version has its own set of rules. Crazy Eight, which is a harder version of the game than the regular version, can be included in these versions. It has a unique scoring system that gives points in different ways.
First, table shuffleboard gives players only one shot to score in each round. In most games, the first player to reach 15 or 21 points wins. The remaining players can choose to shoot a second game. The "hammer" shot is also available to a player. It is the last shot of a round.
In shuffleboard games, your first goal is to get the puck closest to where it will land. To do this, move the puck from one edge to the other. This will require you to slide the board along the edge. It is important to keep your opponent in sight when you are ready to shoot.
After your puck lands, it's a good idea to push it into the right spot to score. To get the puck in the best scoring spot, you can either lean forward or backwards. You should keep your foot on the ground behind it.
Three scoring zones are available to players. Each zone can award different amounts of points. For example, one point is awarded for every puck that lands within the zone's first zone. The second zone gives two points per puck and the third section has three. To score in third zone, the puck must cross between the "2", and "3" areas.
The last scoring area, located at the bottom of the table across from the foul line, is the one that crosses the middle. Pucks that don't clear the foul line will be out of game. The puck must not touch the foul line.
Pucks can be numbered. The number of pucks is displayed on the wall. Players can also check their puck by standing above it. Players can also push their pucks to better scoring positions in order to increase their chances at winning.
Pucks are weighted and come in sets of eight. They measure 2.3125 inches wide. The regulation-size puck weighs 12 ounces while the recreational puck can weigh between 11 and 15 ounces. In general, smaller pucks should be used on games that are played on narrow surfaces. Larger pucks, however, are best for larger surfaces.
Knock Off is a popular version of shuffleboard that can be played with up to four players. Another popular version is Crazy Eight, which is similar to classic games.
