How to Play Shuffleboard

Shuffleboard is played on a long, narrow court with a scoring triangle at each end. Players use cues (long sticks) to slide weighted pucks down the court, aiming to land them in scoring zones while knocking opponents’ pucks out of the way.

Players: 2 players (singles) or 4 players (doubles)
Equipment: 8 pucks total (4 per color, typically yellow and black), 4 cues
Objective: Be the first player or team to reach 15, 21, or 50 points (agree on target score before starting)

Basic Rules

Starting the Game

Decide who shoots first with a coin flip or friendly challenge
In doubles, teammates stand at opposite ends of the court
Players alternate shooting all 4 of their pucks from the same end

Gameplay

Players must stay behind the baseline when shooting
Pucks must pass the foul line (10-off zone) to be in play
Any puck not crossing the foul line is removed from play immediately
Players alternate turns until all 8 pucks have been shot
After all pucks are played, that round (called a “frame”) is scored

Alternating Ends

After each frame is scored, players walk to the opposite end
The player or team that scored in the previous frame shoots first
Continue alternating ends until someone reaches the winning score

Winning

First to reach the agreed target score wins
You must win by at least 2 points in competitive play

Scoring

The scoring triangle is divided into sections:

10-off zone (closest to shooter): -10 points
8 zone: 8 points
7 zone: 7 points
10 zone (far tip of triangle): 10 points

Scoring Rules:

Only pucks that are completely within a scoring zone count (not touching any lines)
Pucks on lines don’t score
Only the leading team/player scores in each frame (the difference in points)
If both players have pucks in scoring zones, subtract the lower score from the higher
Pucks must remain in scoring position when all pucks have been shot to count

Example: You have one puck in the 7 zone and one in the 8 zone (15 points total). Your opponent has one in the 7 zone (7 points). You score 8 points that frame (15 – 7 = 8).

Court Etiquette

Wait for both players to be ready before shooting
Don’t walk in front of a player preparing to shoot
Respect the court—avoid stepping on the playing surface with drinks or food
Be honest about scoring—shuffleboard relies on honor and sportsmanship
Keep the game moving at a reasonable pace
Have fun and keep it friendly!
