For those who are just beginning table shuffleboard, the rules can be confusing. Before you play, you should familiarize yourself with the rules. There are many versions of shuffleboard. Each has their own rules. Crazy Eight is one of these variations. It's a slightly more difficult version than the standard version. It uses a unique scoring system that awards points in different ways.
Table shuffleboard has one rule. Each player can only score once per round. In most games, the first player to reach 15 or 21 points wins. These players then have the option of shooting a second round. A player can also take a shot in the "hammer" shot, which is the final shot in a round.
Your goal in a shuffleboard match is to get your puck closer to the table. To do this, move the puck from one edge to the other. You will have to slide it along the edge to do this. It is important to stay behind your opponent while you 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. Keep your feet on the ground behind you table.
Players have three scoring zones on their tables. Each zone can award different amounts of points. For example, the first zone will award one point per puck that is landed in its designated zone. The second section awards two points for each ball, while the third section allows for three. To score in the third zone, the puck must cross the line between the "2" and the "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. The foul line is a non-playable area. The puck must not touch the foul line.
Pucks have a number. If their puck is not on the line, players can inspect it by standing up above it. To increase their chances for winning, players can also push pucks in better scoring areas.
Pucks come in eight sets and are weighted. They measure 2.33 inches in diameter. While recreational pucks are typically 12 ounces in weight, they can range between 11 and 15 grams. For games on narrow surfaces, smaller pucks will be preferred, while larger pucks work well for larger surfaces.
Some of the more popular versions of shuffleboard are Knock Off, which can be played with four players. Another popular version is Crazy Eight, which is similar to classic games.
