ABSTRACT:
Game apparatus physically adapted for use on a flat playing surface, such as a shuffleboard court includes a support frame having a bracket for engaging the parallel edges of the shuffleboard court and a horizontal support bar suspended above the court between the two edges thereof. A plurality of scoring pins is each pivotally mounted underneath the horizontal bars so as to be suspended between the bar and the surface of the shuffleboard court. Each scoring pin has a flexible brush mounted on its lower extremity and extending downwards so as to engage the playing surface. Plural score indicating plates are provided, each plate being rotatably coupled to the horizontal bar, and positioned adjacent to one of the scoring pins with a corresponding score thereon. A latch couples the scoring plate in a lowered, horizontal position until such time as the shuffleboard disc drives the corresponding scoring pin in an arc about the support bar, thereby overcoming the latch to permit the corresponding score plate to rotate to the vertical position to indicate the score of the pin struck by the shuffleboard disc.
