The American football/rugby stadium multimedia goalpost is an apparatus that enables scoring in American football, herein referred to as football, or rugby. The apparatus is configured to leverage space around the goalpost for displaying advertising promotions and game information. The apparatus includes a goalpost frame, a multimedia bar system, and at least one main computing device. The goalpost frame allows for scoring during football and rugby games. The goalpost frame includes a crossbar, a first upright post, a second upright post, and at least one elevating support. Combined, the first upright post, second upright post, and crossbar define a scoring plane. The at least one main computing device relates to a series of interconnected computers or processors responsible for accepting electrical inputs and converting those inputs into appropriate electrical outputs for use across the apparatus. This configuration allows the apparatus to present advertising and event information to event viewers.

A floating game assembly including a float, a field goal post, a game mat, and a ball is provided. The float includes a body defining a central opening and a mount secured to the body. The float is configured to float on a water surface. The field goal post is inflatable or is formed from a plurality of pipes and a plurality of connection fittings. The plurality of pipes are connected with the plurality of connection fittings to form the field goal post, allowing the field goal post to be constructed and deconstructed. At least a portion of the field goal post can be inserted into the mount to removably secure the field goal post to the float.

An assembly for lifting and transporting sports equipment, such as a goal. The assembly 100 can be fitted to numerous variations of sports equipment 200 to enable both lifting of the sports equipment and horizontal transportation thereof.

Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a smart base for a baseball system or a softball system comprises a sensor to detect a first time at which a runner has touched the smart base, a radio-frequency (RF) receiver to receive a signal from a smart baseball that indicates a second time at which the smart baseball was caught, timing circuitry to detect if the second time occurs before or after the first time; and indicator circuitry to indicate a force out if the second time occurs before the first time.

A portable multifunctional gaming apparatus may comprise a pair of poles, and each of the poles has a main body, a lower end, and an upper end. The pole can be held by a user or mounted into a portable base through the lower end to firmly stand on the ground. Moreover, the lower end of the pole can connect to an extending pole to extend the length of the pole for different activities, and a sliding groove is formed at the upper end of the pole. Furthermore, a plurality of peripheral grooves are formed on a surface of the pole for receiving winding ropes. The base configured to steadily stand on the ground has a receiving hole at an upper end to receive the pole, thereby used for different games.

A sporting robotic device apparatus, system, method and/or computer program product may provide an electronically programmably controlled sporting device. Certain embodiments include a plurality of sporting devices coupled to a robot or a plurality of the at least one robots, where the plurality of robots each include a sporting device coupled to the plurality of robots, and where each robot includes a plurality of joint axes, motors, and structural members. The sporting robotic device can further include an electronic user interface coupled to the robots and an electronic computer processor, memory, input and output devices, and can include further features as claimed including at least one of the user interface with devices coupled thereto, the computer processor configured to save or retrieve a sporting routine from memory, to randomize a challenge, or configured to combine sporting routines, or shuffle sporting routines, previously saved.

Examples are disclosed to track sport implements and/or objects of interest. An example apparatus includes a first coil to generate a first magnetic field having a first vertical component with a zero magnitude along a first line of interest and a second coil partially overlapped with the first coil, where the second coil is to generate a second magnetic field. The example apparatus also includes a sensor to measure a magnitude of the first magnetic field in the first line of interest and a processor to determine an object of interest has crossed the first line of interest based on the magnitude of the first magnetic field measured by the sensor.

A reconfigurable pallet includes outer panels, a plurality of longitudinal members, a frame, and a compartment disposed within the reconfigurable pallet. The compartment is configured to store components that may be used to disassemble and reassemble the reconfigurable pallet for a different use, purpose or function, including as sporting equipment.
