Broadcast-ready table sports system
In one example, a system includes a movable object, a detection region including a playing surface for supporting the movable object, and a plurality of cameras spaced apart from one another about the detection region, each of the plurality of cameras configured to capture a field of view of the detection region. The system may further include a controller configured to determine the position of the movable object on the playing surface. The cameras may be configured to track the movement of the movable object on the playing surface. The output from the camera may be selected based upon the movement of the movable object on the playing surface. Sensors may be provided to gather telemetry data of the system so as to provide analysis of the system. The system may be part of or be used with various table sports or table games.

Game board
A game board includes: a field plate; a rod-shaped manipulation lever disposed under the field plate; and a player figure which is disposed above the field plate and make a play on a ball located on the field plate. The field plate has a long through-hole. The player figure is attached to the manipulation lever through the through-hole. The player figure is movable above the field plate as the manipulation lever is moved in its axial direction, and is rotatable about a pivot portion of the player figure by a rotation manipulation on the manipulation lever. The field plate has, beside the through-hole, a ball holding portion to allow the ball to stay. Part of the player figure is capable of coming into contact with the ball staying in the ball holding portion.
