How do you play shuffleboard?

Shuffleboard is a game that is played on a long, narrow court, often indoors, and involves the use of weighted discs. The game is typically played with two players or two teams competing to slide their discs closest to the far end of the court.
To begin, each player or team takes 4 discs and stands at opposite ends of the court. The players or teams then take turns sliding their discs toward the opposite end of the court. The player or team with the disc closest to the far end of the court scores one point.
If a disc lands off the court or is knocked off by another disc, it is removed from the game and no points are scored. The game continues until one player or team has accumulated fifteen points or the round time runs out. The player or team with the highest total score wins.

How do you score in a game of shuffleboard?

In a game of shuffleboard, players score points by shooting their discs down the court and having them come to rest in a scoring area at the opposite end of the court. Points are earned by having the disc come to rest in the scoring triangle located at the end of the court, which is divided into sections worth 1, 2, 3, and 4 points each. The player or team with the highest score at the end of the game wins.

How do you count the points in a game of shuffleboard?

To determine the score in a game of shuffleboard, count the discs that are closest to the far end of the board. The player or team with the most points wins the game. Each disc closest to the far end of the board is worth 1 point. The farthest disc from the far end is worth 2 points. If a player or team has multiple discs closest to the far end, they are awarded the total number of points for each disc. For example, if a player has two discs closest to the far end, they will be awarded 2 points (1 point for each disc).
