A method for a Phone Application to create a Pickleball Tournament Competition that will automatically arrange Teams/Players after a unique method of card drawing to scrimmage ever Team/Player once, keep track of each Team/Player ranking, and most importantly, after the bracket scrimmage is completed, the app will automatically produce a playoff schedule for the championship match includes the app to track each Team/Player by their Team Slot assignment, the Standing Tab will update and inform the players with ranking, the Formula Table dictates the sequence of the pairing of Teams/Players to their Bracket Scrimmage, transmit the recorded scores of each game into the “Score” section of the Formula Table, and lastly, the workflow will continue to update Team/Players ranking to code the Playoff Bracket matchups.

A scoring system is disclosed for a shuffleboard table 2 having a sliding surface 4 on which a puck 6 can be thrown. A camera 26 is arranged to point in a direction 28 that is angled relative to the normal 30 of the sliding surface 4. A puck 6 can be thrown and a computer 32 can detect a moving object within a throwing zone 16. The computer 32 analyses whether the detected moving object corresponds to a valid puck. When all pucks are stationary on the sliding surface 4 the computer 32 can calculate a score.

Described is a system for scoring a golf game based on individual plays. The system scores a golf game based on an ideal/perfect/maximum score and establishes the “perfect score” as 54 points based on a 3 point maximum number of points per hole over 18 holes. On approach to a par-4 or par-5 hole, the system rewards a player with one point if the player succeeds in hitting the fairway from the tee. A player receives 1 point for hitting the green in regulation. If the player is targeting a par-3 hole, the system rewards the player with 2 points if the player's first shot from the tee lands on the green. At any hole, another point is awarded to a player if the player, while on the green, successfully executes a 1-putt. A player who successfully executes these plays for 18 holes achieves the maximum score of 54 points.

A multifaceted hand implement is disclosed having plural landing surfaces. From one of the landing surfaces. an object can be launched and whilst airborne, the hand implement is turned to present another landing surface onto which the object can land. Preferably a catching inter-engagement is provided between the object and the landing surfaces by means of VELCRO, or magnetic attraction. Various games or contests can be implemented and the playing of such games is thought to improve hand-eye coordination thereby improving manual dexterity and/or delaying the onset of various degenerative diseases.

An annular multimedia stadium goalpost and multipurpose target display system. The system includes a rear support-and-multimedia assembly for supporting the net and producing audible and visual effects. The system also includes a at least one annular frame and a primary projector. The rear support-and-multimedia assembly includes a support assembly and a multimedia bar system. The support assembly maintains the annular frame and the multimedia bar system in an orientation that facilitates playing sports and projecting information. The multimedia bar system includes a plurality of lights, a plurality of first speakers, a plurality of sponsor display panels, a retractably screen assembly, and a retractably underground projector in order to audible and visually convey content regarding the sports game and advertisements to the audience. The system also includes an annular display, and a multitude of rangefinder laser-detector video cameras to track, record, and present gameplay live.

A basketball goal system comprising a backboard assembly and suspension frame affixed to the back surface, a suspension structure connected to the suspension frame of the backboard and a goal indication system which interfaces to at least one of the suspension structure or backboard to cause an indication (of various colors) to be presented via the suspension system and/or the backboard which indication relates to the shot points associated with a shot attempted at the goal. The goal indication system causes presentation of a cue on a front surface of the backboard, which cue is of a color corresponding to shot points. The backboard elements and light emission of the suspension frame can be controlled synchronously or asynchronously.

A score tracking system may include a tracking module, companion device, and location system. The tracking module may be configured to be carried by a player competing in a golf tournament. The companion device may be configured to receive an input corresponding to a stroke event and that includes a time stamp corresponding to an occurrence of the stroke event. The location system may collect or receive location data, which comprises or is used by the location system to generate a plurality of sets of location coordinates. Each set of location coordinates may correspond to a location of the tracking module at a specified time. The location system may pair the time stamp with a set of the location coordinates corresponding to the location of the tracking module at the occurrence of the stroke event.

A method includes providing a first video file to a plurality of exercise machines, the first video file including content associated with an exercise class. The method also includes receiving user data from the plurality of exercise machines, the user data including respective settings associated with a common performance metric. In such a method, the respective settings are used on the plurality of exercise machines during playback of a particular part of the first video file. The method also includes identifying a timestamp associated with the particular part of the first video file, and generating an executable control corresponding to the performance metric. The method further includes generating a second video file comprising the content and the executable control. In such methods, playback of the second video file causes display of the executable control at a part of the second video file corresponding to the timestamp.

Golf entertainment venues with a computing system configured to optically identify and track graphical images located on golf balls hit by players. The graphical image located on a golf ball can be associated with a player and the computing system can assign the player a score when that player's golf ball successfully arrives at a target area. In some embodiments, the graphical images can be printed on the golf balls using, for example, a single pass inkjet printing technique. In some embodiments, the computing system can be configured to sort golf balls based on optically identified graphical images.

A distance detector comprising: a laser transmitter and receiver for generating a laser beam to irradiate an object and to receive return light reflected in response from the object, an image detection system for generating an image of a view, the image detection system including an objective lens for collecting light from the view, an image sensor for receiving light collected by the objective lens and for generating the image therefrom, and a digital display for displaying the image such that the digital display displays a real-time image of the view, a laser beam indicium on the digital display or a laser beam indicium generator configured to display laser beam indicium on the digital display, wherein the laser beam indicium indicates a direction of the laser beam, and a range-finding system for determining the distance to an object irradiated by the laser beam using return light and for displaying distance.
