This tool for recording the number of swings in a ball game includes a plurality of holed beads 20 and a cord 30 that is passed through the holes 20H of the beads 20 and that holds the beads 20 so that the beads 20 can slide, the cord 30 is formed from a cord material that does not stretch in an axial direction but that stretches in a diametrical direction and that is normally urged in a diameter-expanding direction, and the cord 30 constrict in diameter so as to elastically interlock with the walls of the holes 20H of the beads 20 and hold the beads 20 in position, whereby the beads do not shift even if a player strongly shakes the tool, the number of swings in the ball game can be reliably recorded and confirmed, and the tool is easily assembled.

This invention is an inexpensive, easy-to-use, and easy-to-manufacture device that can be placed on the edge of a pool so that a swimmer can use it to count laps without significantly disrupting the swimming. The invention is lightweight and portable so that one person can carry it around, place it on the pool before swimming laps, and remove it afterwards.

A score tracking apparatus for pickleball, wherein the score tracking apparatus is configured to attach to a peripheral edge of the pickleball paddle, thereby affording a method of improving a pickleball paddle as well as a system for enabling one-handed tracking of the score of a pickleball game, whereby players do not have to use their smart phones during a pickleball game.

A special outdoor game that combines corn hole, bocce ball, and horseshoes as a beach game. The components include a pair of a target cups with a depth or may be substituted with rings for hard surfaces; two sets of balls or equal spherical, toss-able object, each of the set consists of four different color/design balls; and a pair of target stakes preferably round or tubular. The target stakes are used as a primary target for the game with the target cups permitting a player to score more points; a carrying bag or container; a measurement flag or equal; and a card explaining scoring and rules. The game can be played on a turf field, tennis court, sand field, sand beach, backyard, or parking lot. When played on a hard, firm surface, the target rings may be substituted for the target cups.

The present disclosure provides a goal secured to a table configured to receive a projectile from a tabletop game with a playing surface. The goal includes a net portion, at least one bracket, and a tray portion. The net portion has a first end and a second end. The net portion is movable between a first position and a second position. The net portion is configured to receive a first projectile in the first position and a second projectile in the second position. The at least one bracket is configured to receive at least one of the first end or the second end of the net portion. The tray portion is configured to store the first projectile and the second projectile.

A scorekeeping device (1) and method are provided wherein the device has two rows of objects (3, 4), preferably beads, that are movably attached to a base (1), preferably a sweatband, worn on an appendage of a player (8), wherein the objects may be of different colors to denote different teams. One bead is moved downward as each point is scored until the last bead is reached, denoting a winner. A third row (5) having two beads is provided to indicate which team is serving.

A game lighting and scorekeeping assembly for use when playing toss games is provided. The assembly includes an upright support structure adapted to support a scorekeeping device (preferably illuminated), an illumination system for providing light onto one or more gameboards, a cup holding assembly, an audio speaker system, a bottle opener assembly, and other elements. Both the scorekeeping device and the illumination system each emit amplified light with the illumination system emitting focused light at higher lumens, and as such, the game lighting and scorekeeping assembly is designed to minimize the interference between the light emitted by the scorekeeping device and the light emitted by the illumination system. In this regard, the scorekeeping device is positioned at a higher elevation on the game lighting and scorekeeping assembly above the illumination system.

A scorekeeping apparatus has a body with a front panel with a front surface and a back surface, a window through the front panel, a block in a geometric shape providing a plurality of faces having indicia, and a positioning mechanism implemented in the body having positioning elements adapted to hold the block with one of the plurality of faces against the back surface of the front panel with the indicia on the one face displayed through the window. The positioning mechanism enables a user to remove the block, rotate to another face, and replace the block in the positioning mechanism, displaying a different indicia.

A tethered ring toss game apparatus is provided. In some embodiments, the apparatus may include a target device having a target body, a first bar target, a second bar target, a first hook target, and a second hook target. The first bar target and second bar target may be positioned on opposite sides of the target body, and the first hook target and second hook target may be positioned on opposite sides of the target body. A ring having a ring aperture may be coupled to a first end of a flexible tether, and a second end of the flexible tether may be positioned between 28 and 38 degrees above the target device. The flexible tether may have a length that enables the ring aperture of the ring to be alternatively positioned around each of the first bar target, second bar target, first hook target, and second hook target.
