Individual Name:

Shuffleboard
A Brief History:

Shuffleboard, also known as shovelboard, is a game in which 2 players, or 4 players in partnership, slide flat disks across a specially marked court. One player or partnership has 4 red disks, and the opponent has 4 black disks.

The disks are propelled by special sticks with a U-shaped piece at one end to accommodate them. The shuffleboard court is 52 ft (15.8 m) long and 6 ft (1.8 m) wide; 6.5 ft (2 m) toward the center of the court from each end is a baseline from which the disks are played.

Still closer to the center from each end is a triangle divided into 6 sections with scoring and penalty values marked in each. All 8 disks are played first from one end and then from the other.

A disk scores or is penalized the value of the section in which it comes to rest, and, since a player may either try to land in a scoring section or try to displace an opponent's disk (and simultaneously land in a scoring section), the score cannot be determined until all 8 disks have been shot. A game may be to 50, 75, or 100 points.
