A method of playing a projectile throwing game, including defining two teams, wherein each team consists of at least two players, positioning first and second sets of goals a predetermined distance from one another to define a playing field, assigning one team to begin play as offense and the other team to begin play as defense, positioning a first offense team player to assault the first set of goals, positioning a second offense team player in the playing field, positioning a first defense team player in the playing field, positioning a second defense team player behind the first set of goals, initiating play with the first offense team player team tossing the projectile towards the second set of goals, scoring points, with each respective team alternating between defense and offense, and declaring a winner when one respective team has scored a predetermined number of points. Each respective goal is defined by a pole portion extending upwardly from ground and a hoop portion operationally connected to the pole portion and sized to accept the projectile therethrough. A turn is defined as both teams playing offense and defense, sequentially.

A device and methods for playing a game are provided. The game utilizes a goal. In one embodiment, the goal resembles a cube. A user can stand outside the perimeter of the goal and can throw an object, such as, for example, a ball, into the goal. The size of the goal can be adjustable.

A device for generating virtual golf holes on a green includes a housing configured for coupling to a golf pin at a distance above a green, one or more cameras located within the housing, the one or more cameras configured to gather data from an area of the green surrounding the golf pin, one or more speakers located within the housing and a processor located within the housing and communicably connected with the one or more cameras and the one or more speakers, the processor configured for generating an internal representation of one or more virtual golf holes around the golf pin, reading the data from the one or more cameras, determining whether a golf ball detected by the one or more cameras has entered the one or more virtual golf holes, and activating the one or more speakers to play one or more audible sounds if the golf ball detected by the one or more cameras is determined to have entered the one or more virtual golf holes.

The present invention relates to a new and inventive combination game combining aspects of ball and/or bowling games. The invention further relates to a game set comprising all elements necessary to perform the game and to a method of playing a combined game.

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.

A method for operating an event with a plurality of participants comprising: providing an event environment through selection of an at least partially enclosed multigoal arena containing goal apertures positioned within walls of the arena and including selecting one or more properties of the multigoal arena; introducing participants into the arena; and commencing an activity by the participants by selecting at least one event mode and applying that mode to the event environment to generate an event state; such that predictability of the event state within the event environment is adaptable.

The disclosed basketball training system, also known as the Slasher, is the only product of its kind that has the capability of extending to reach the desired length while easily retracting into itself to ensure easy storage and long term functionality. The Slasher is uniquely designed with durable plastic or metal material, offers a lightweight training apparatus measuring forty two inches wide, and is capable of enduring weight and pressure to accommodate a user's specific skill level and height.

A method is provided of producing and assembling a multi-part surface-mountable physical-activity lamina for use in aiding or supplementing a physical-activity in a physical-activity environment. There is a step a] of providing a first graphic design model of the lamina; and b] segmenting the first graphic design model into a plurality of graphic design model portions. A step c] follows of arranging the graphic design model portions into a more compact second graphic design defining a reduced surface area; and then d] the second graphic design being applied to a lamina substrate having another surface area. The lamina substrate is then separated into lamina elements corresponding to the graphic design model portions, followed by a step e] of assembling the lamina elements onto a mounting surface at a physical-activity environment to form the surface-mountable physical-activity lamina.

A sports target device having a base and a frame member projecting upwardly from the base when the device is in the use position. A panel is attached to the frame in a manner that produces a loud noise when struck by a projectile. The panel may include targeting indicia. The noise that is produce can be loud and of prolonged duration. Such a noise would be appreciated by some athletes, particularly young ones, who will thereby be encouraged to keep practicing.

An illuminated rim for a roundnet set is provided. The illuminated rim of the present application is an illuminated circular frame attached to the top of an existing frame of a standard roundnet set. The underside of a connector unit of the illuminated rim snaps onto the existing frame of the standard roundnet set. An optional sensor may be used in connection with the game to detect pressure on the net from, for example, a ball hitting it. Once the sensor is triggered, the LED lights may be programmed to go off. In an embodiment, the device may be programmed so that the light may be used to determine if a valid or invalid shot was executed by a player.
