AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is about a shuffleboard table with a single scoring area and playing area, which is located at the end of the table that all players are throwing towards. This setup creates an uninterrupted view of the table for each player and makes it easy to place the scoreboard at the same end of the table. Additionally, the table may be separated from other viewing areas by a raised table or a partition wall, which can be moved or fixed. This allows players from neighboring tables to easily interact with each other, for example when linking games on neighboring tables. The technical effect of this invention is that it provides a more organized and efficient experience for players and allows for greater interaction between tables.
