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 game table and to a game equipment for playing a ball game with legs. The game table includes a table top structure with a see-through table top surface. The table top structure has a first and second table top ends and a first and second table top sides extending between the first and second table top ends. The game table further includes a first table side wall and a second table side wall extending downwards from the table top structure. The first and second table side walls being arranged to form a channel-like game space together with the table top structure, the channel-like game space having a first opening and a second opening at opposite ends of the channel-like game space.

A game apparatus includes a pair of ramps, each ramp having a first surface for rolling a game ball and a second surface including at least one target for receiving a game ball. The ramps can be positioned such that a player can roll a game ball on the first surface of one ramp with the goal of hitting a target on the second surface of another ramp.

Systems and methods for a ball game comprising a playing field having a modified soccer goal wherein said goal having a foldable stand placed above its center holding a rigid basket and at least one playing ball wherein said ball is spherical in shape and having extruded ribs, wherein said ball have at least one sensor is embedded in it to allow detection of said ball location in said field.

The sports training system includes a first housing including a transmitter; a second housing including a receiver and a wireless communication module; a plurality of illuminating targets in communication with the wireless communication module; and a remote control in wireless communication with the transmitter, the receiver, and the plurality of illuminating targets. In operation, the transmitter projects a transmission and the receiver is positioned laterally away from the transmitter and receives the transmission. In response to an object passing between the transmitter and receiver, the receiver is blocked from receiving the transmission. In response to the receiver being blocked from receiving the transmission, a selected one of the targets illuminates. Input from the remote control controls operation of one of the transmitter, the receiver, or one of the plurality of illuminating targets.

A system and method leverages understanding of complex dribbling video clips by representing a video sequence with a single Dribble Energy Image (DEI) that is informative for dribbling styles recognition. To overcome the shortage of labelled data, a dataset of soccer video clips employs Mask-RCNN to segment out dribbling players and OpenPose to obtain joints information of dribbling players. To solve issues caused by camera motions in highlight soccer videos, the system registers a video sequence to generate a single image representation DEI and dribbling styles classification.

A game apparatus includes at least two balls and two balance apparatuses for balancing the balls thereon. Each balance apparatus can be held by a separate player. A method of playing a ball balance game includes equipping at least two players each with a balance apparatus and a ball. Each ball is balanced on each balance apparatus. Players can then be positioned at desired locations relative to each other. A desired game can then be started with the balls and the balance apparatuses.

A three-dimensional throwing game target apparatus includes platforms, bridge members, connectors and stanchions. The platforms include an outer wall and a platform receptacle ring that is adapted to receive a cup. Each of the bridge members include at least one bridge receptacle ring and a plurality of elongated girders extending outwardly from the bridge receptacle ring. The bridge members and the platforms may be detachably connected to one another in a horizontal plane. The stanchions are assembled to the platforms to support the receptacle rings at a plurality of different heights. The platforms, bridge members, connectors and stanchions may be assembled together to support the platform receptacle rings at selected vertically and horizontally spaced locations.

A delivery system and method for levitation is disclosed. The delivery system includes an inlet trough; a queue aligned with the inlet trough; a blocker conduit aligned with the queue; a first blocker and a second blocker, each having an extension through the blocker conduit for selectively permitting passage through the blocker conduit, the extension of the first blocker spaced laterally along the blocker conduit from the extension of the second blocker; an exhaust conduit having an exhaust conduit receiver opening and an exhaust conduit exit opening, the exhaust conduit receiver opening aligned with a blocker conduit exit opening of the blocker conduit; and a force generator positioned near the base end and below the exhaust conduit receiver opening. A rolling object can exit through the exhaust conduit exit opening and levitate above the exhaust conduit exit opening. The delivery system can include a speed reducer.

A game equipment and seat for a game table. The game table includes a table top structure and a first and second table side wall structure extending downwards from the table top structure arranged to form a channel-like game space having a first opening and a second opening at opposite ends of the channel-like game space. The game equipment includes a first seat arranged in connection with the first opening and a second seat arranged in connection with the second opening. The first seat is supported in vertical direction to first and second table support legs at the first opening and the second seat is supported in vertical direction to the first and second table support legs at the second opening.
