How to play shuffleboard

Traditional Shuffleboard

•    Both teams start on the same side of the table.  

•    Choose a team to go first.

•    Teams alternate shooting pucks, until all 8 pucks are shot.

•    Scoring – whoever has their puck furthest down the table scores.  Only pucks ahead of their opponents score.
All other pucks do not score.  

• Any scoring puck on a line is in the lower scoring zone.

•    The scoring zones are marked, however if a puck is hanging off the end of the table, this is called a hanger and is worth 4 points.

•    Once scoring is completed, remove all pucks.

•    Teams now shoot in the opposite direction, 
and change who shoots first.

•    First team to 15 points is the winner.


Alternative Scoring for Traditional Shuffleboard

•    When scoring add the total scoring pucks for each team.

•    The team with the higher score, scores the difference of their score and their opponent’s score.   Example -  If black scores 6, and yellow scores 4, then black scores 2 points for the round.
 

Horse Collar Shuffleboard

•    On a team’s turn, shoot all 8 pucks from one side of the table.

•    Scoring – to score, the team must have at least 1 puck in the 3 or 4 scoring zone and no pucks in the foul zone. 

Failure to do so results in a foul and that team’s turn is over.

•    The scoring is same as in traditional game, but hanger scores 13.  

If a team can hang the puck on the back corner – this is a double hanger and is worth 26 points.

•    First team to score 51 points is the winner.


Crazy 8’s Shuffleboard

•    On a team’s turn, they take all pucks of one color, Using one hand slide all 4 pucks across the table at once.

•    All 4 pucks must remain on the table and none may land 
in the foul zone.  

Failure to do so results in a foul and that team’s turn is over.

•    If successful, the team now uses the opposite colour pucks. Shooting one at a time, try to remove the initial pucks from the table.

•    If successful, the team scores any remaining pucks on the table, using the same scoring zones as traditional shuffleboard.

•    If unsuccessful, the turn is a foul and that team’s turn is over.

•    First team to 15 is the winner.
