A ball pitching device includes a frame including three first elbows and four second elbows, an upper PVC sheet and a lower PVC sheet below the upper PVC sheet and connected with the upper PVC sheet, the upper PVC sheet is connected with the frame, a ball storage space is formed between the lower PVC sheet and the upper PVC sheet, the upper PVC sheet is configured with a hole, the three first elbows are connected in sequence, two adjacent first elbows are arranged horizontally and hinged to each other, the remaining first elbow extends obliquely and is hinged to the two horizontal first elbows, two second elbows are respectively hinged with the two horizontal first elbows at two ends of the frame, another second elbow is hinged at a connection between the two horizontal first elbows, and the remaining second elbow is hinged to the oblique first elbow.

System for achieving controlled movement of at least one first magnet. The movement is caused by a repulsive force from at least one second magnet. Before movement of the first magnet, the magnet and one of the at least one second magnets are aligned in such a way that a line E-E running through both centers C, D of the magnets, is not perpendicular to the magnetic axis A-A, B-B of any of the magnets. A method for controlled movement of at least one first magnet includes aligning the at least one first magnet and the at least one second magnet in such a way that a line E-E running through both centers C, D of the magnets, are not perpendicular to the magnetic axis A-A, B-B of the magnets. The magnets are aligned close to each other while they are retained, and the first magnet is released.

A game comprising a disk and a board, where the board is elongate such that the board has a long axis and where the board comprises at least one goal, where the goal is oriented parallel to the long axis of the board along a side of the board. The game is played by placing the disk on its edge at a first end of the board; rolling the disk forward while simultaneously spinning the disk backward; and allowing the disk to arch sideways through the goal at the second end of the board. The game replicates the excitement of the corner kick in soccer in a tabletop game, suitable for use at home or in a bar or pub. The game may be decorated with a soccer, basketball, or hockey theme.

This is an improvement to the tilting projectile game of U.S. Pat. No. 7,543,818 B2, in which the tilting assemblies that connect the paddles to the game's base and allow the paddles to tilt in every direction while preventing the paddles from touching one another, have been strengthened, simplified and made more efficient by replacing relatively complex parts with a single, stronger and simpler piece. By enclosing the space between the paddles and base, this improvement also ensures that players cannot put their fingers between those moving parts when the game is being played, whereas in the game's original design, if a player did not hold the paddles in the proper manner, they could misplace their fingers into that space.

The present disclosure provides a beer pong game system comprising a game table, a plurality of game cups, and at least one game ball, the game table being equipped with an RFID reader and a plurality of RFID antennas, the RFID antennas one-to-one corresponding to to-be-detected positions of the game cups; an electronic tag being affixed at a bottom of a game cup; an electronic tag being inlaid inside the game ball; the beer pong game system being characterized in comprising a make detecting unit that identifies, at predetermined to-be-detected positions of game balls, the electronic tags of the game balls by scanning corresponding RFID antennas, thereby determining a make result and prompting a first landing mode; and a cup-removal scoring unit that identifies, at to-be-detected positions of all game cups, electronic tags of the game cups by scanning all RFID antennas, thereby inferring a second landing mode and correspondingly scoring.

A bumper golf game system, and related methods, are disclosed. The system includes a flexible putting mat including inner and outer surfaces, first and second goal recesses extending at least partially through the mat, an array of a plurality of central obstacle recesses extending at least partially through the mat positioned generally between the first and second goal recesses, a pair of first goal obstacle recesses extending at least partially through the mat flanking the first goal recess, and a pair of second goal obstacle recesses extending at least partially through the mat flanking the second goal recess. The system also includes a plurality of obstacles configured to mount within the obstacle recesses and extend past the inner surface of the mat. The system further includes a plurality of rails configured to interconnect and extend over the inner surface of the mat to bound a portion thereof.

A table includes a table surface, a border, and an underside. A planar game board is disposed within the table, wherein the planar surface includes a plurality of scoring targets and a plurality of zones marked thereon. A simulated American football field piece is secured to the planar game board, so that playing pieces may pass underneath, across, over, or above the planar surface and simulated American football field piece. Play-indicating mechanisms are attached to the table. The play-indicating mechanisms are each configured to indicate one of a plurality of play options.

A system and method for playing a game. The table can be electronic or physical. The table has a game surface surrounded by two side rails and two end rails. The two end rails are approximately perpendicular to the two side rails. The table has at least one goal located on the downstream end of the table. The goal has at least one goal slot for receiving a puck which has been thrown. The table also has a scratch guard located upstream of the goal separating said game surface into a shooting zone and a field of play. The field of play is downstream from the shooting zone. A puck is thrown into the goal and scores are tabulated.

A game system and method are provided. A game board has an inclined play surface, one or more score zone delineators on the play surface and an opening formed in the play surface through which a play ball can pass if the play ball rolls over the opening during game play. A player rolls the play ball up the inclined play surface with the objective of causing the play ball to enter a highest score zone and then to roll down the inclined surface and pass through the opening, resulting in the player attaining a number of points associated with the highest score zone that the play ball entered before passing through the opening.
