ABSTRACT:
A competitive game apparatus of the type resembling a table tennis game including a table having opposed playing areas divided by a transverse barrier or "net". The opposed playing areas slope downwardly from the barrier to define a crown below the barrier. A pair of hand manipulatable projecting devices are provided, one for each player of the game, for receiving a substantially hard ball rolling along the playing area and projecting the ball back across the barrier. The playing areas are resiliently supported to dampen the bouncing effect of the ball so that it lands on the playing surface and rolls toward the player down the playing area. Each projecting device is electrically operated and includes a rotatable roller having a resiliently flexible periphery for engaging the ball and directing it through a chute for return to the opposite playing area. The return chute is pivotally mounted on the projecting device so that the player can manually direct the ball to a particular portion of the opposed playing area. The game apparatus also includes a pair of scoring light boxes to tabulate the score for each game and for a plurality of games. The table includes a metal periphery around the playing area so that a substantially different sound is produced as the ball lands outside of the playing area to indicate that a player has missed a shot.
