Boxxyball
A ball game is submitted. The ball game has an elevated, flat surface which resembles a volleyball net, but where there are three rows of ten boxes. Each hole (box) in the net is 12 inches × 12 inches, and the game ball is around 5 inches in diameter. A user stands on either side of the elevated, flat surface and may throw the ball through one of the holes (boxes) in the elevated, flat surface. Another user stands on the opposite side of the elevated, flat surface and may catch the ball and return it in the same way. The height of the elevated, flat surface which resembles a volleyball net, the number, and dimensions of the holes (boxes), and the size of the game ball may be changed/adjusted. However, the holes (boxes) in the net are at least 50% larger than the diameter of the game ball, e.g., in another embodiment, there are three rows of eight boxes, where each hole (box) in the net is 14 inches x 14 inches, and the game ball is around 6 inches in diameter.
Water game apparatus
A water game apparatus having a buoyant seat platform with seats on opposing ends and handles on opposing sides to enables game participants to sit on the two opposing seats while other game participants jostle and rock the seat platform by holding onto and moving the handles. The game players try to maintain their balance and remain on the buoyant seat platform while being bucked and jostled. The last game player to remain on the buoyant seat platform is the winner. The seats may be concave depressions in the buoyant seat platform to provide some support of the game players and to prevent them from simply siding off the platform. The handles may be embedded in the seat platform of configured in a channel formed by a seat portion and water portion of an assembly. The water contact surface may be convex in shape from side to side.
AQUATIC GAME DEVICE
The invention relates to an aquatic game device comprising a structure having two ends which are each fitted with a base module, said structure being sufficiently deformable so as to allow the relative movement of said modules, the density of the modules being designed to allow the immersion of said device in water with the modules arranged such that they stand on a subaquatic surface, and the density of the structure being designed so as to be able to suspend said structure in the water according to at least one game configuration.
Splat H2O
Described herein is a portable outdoor water and snow activity station used as a game or a toy. The activity station is a mesh screen panel PVC structure with supports that has a detachable water hose, which connects to a standard water spigot; the detachable hose has on/off nozzles for filling water balloons and other water toys and may be removed during non-use. The activity station has multiple slingshot launchers that may be used for launching both water balloons and snowballs. The activity station's adjoined mesh screen panels shield players as they propel objects with the slingshot launchers. The activity station contains rear storage pouches to hold water balloons and snowballs while in use. The activity station's foldable design allows for easy set up, take down, portability, and storage. The object of the game is for players at opposing stations to launch water balloons and snowballs at each other.
Takedown structure for game
A takedown structure for 3×3 grid game includes a plurality of tubular frame members having a rectangular cross-section, each tubular frame member including two grooves on top and bottom surfaces respectively; a plurality of different fitting members, each including a parallelepiped body and a plurality of arms, each including an axial hole and a plurality of main sections, each having a tapered portion wherein each arm is configured to frictionally dispose in an end of the frame member; and a plurality of rectangular boards, each including two projections on top and bottom edges respectively, each projection being configured to complimentarily dispose in the groove, and a digit formed on an outer surface of the rectangular board.
Ball Launch and Catch Game
A one or two player ball game assembly comprising a motorized ball launcher that shoots balls upwards into the air in a random fountain like pattern. Each player catches or retrieves the launched balls and places them back into their designated reservoir. The reservoir gravity feeds the balls back into a striker mechanism. In one embodiment, the reservoirs are clear tubes so that each player may monitor the number of balls in each player's reservoir during play. The clear tubes also act as a fence, keeping each player on their respective sides thus minimizing possible collisions during play. In one embodiment, the game operates on an adjustable timer (e.g. 1-15 minutes) which automatically terminates powered to the motorized striker. The timer may also trigger an audible signal (e.g. bell) when the game is over. The winner is the player with the most balls in their reservoir at the end of play. In the single player game, a single reservoir is used and the player's score is the number of balls in the reservoir when the game ends.
MODIFIED BASEBALL GAME
A modified baseball game includes a field bounded by side walls, a top wall, a strike wall, and a back wall. The side walls, the top wall, the strike wall, and the back wall are substantially perpendicular to the field and the field is substantially smaller than a traditional baseball field. A pitch of a predefined length is positioned proximal to the strike wall. A first and a second team includes at most five players. The first team fields and the second team bats and vice versa at the end of three outs of the second team. A ball is used for pitching by one of the five players the first team or the second team. A baseball bat is used for hitting the ball by one of the players of the first team or the second team based on which team is batting.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PORTABLE BALL GAME
A method and apparatus facilitating a portable game including a housing for receiving all parts of the game which housing and parts can be expeditiously assembled to form goals for playing a game on land or in the water. The housing comprises a cylinder, such as a bucket, cut in half vertically, being separable and re-connectable. Each half of the housing can include a hole to be used as a scoring goal. A modular extension pole supports each half of the housing. The game is preferably played with a ball and a first and second scoring goals. The method facilitates playing in water, grass/dirt/ground, and as a team sport.
Basketball sensing apparatus
An apparatus includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium to direct a processor to: receive signals indicating a made basketball shot or a missed basketball shot of a basketball by a person during a basketball shooting session, receive signals indicating a location from which each made basketball shot is made, and determine and output a user cumulative score for the person for the basketball shooting session, the cumulative score being based upon the location of each made basketball shot.
FLOATING THROWABLE IMPLEMENT GAME APPARATUS AND RELATED DEVICES
An apparatus is used with throwable implements. The apparatus includes a base having a central portion and a peripheral edge. A first container is positioned on the central portion of the base. A plurality of second containers is positioned along the peripheral edge of the base and radially about the first container, wherein the plurality of second containers are smaller than the first container, and wherein an upper rim edge of the first container is positioned higher than upper rim edges of the plurality of second containers. The apparatus may be floatable and used primarily in water-based settings.
