ABSTRACT:
The invention may be embodied as a playing surface. Such a playing surface may include a first boundary wall, a second boundary wall, a first zone separator and a second zone separator. The second zone separator may be spaced apart from the first zone separator in order to provide a first zone area residing between the first zone separator and the second zone separator. The zone separators may each have an angled surface which are positioned so that a sphere may be rolled toward the angled surface of the zone separator, roll over the zone separator and into a zone area.
