Abstract
An arrangement for aligning a pair of game boards as used in a tossing game such as cornhole, the arrangement including alignment fiducials located along a center line of each game board and an alignment system that uses a marking line that uses the fiducials to achieve alignment (and perhaps also proper spacing) between the pair of game boards. The marking line of the alignment system may be either a laser-based source or a non-elastic weighted string source.
Claims5
An arrangement for providing a defined placement between a pair of game boards used in playing a tossing game, the alignment system comprising
- a pair of alignment fiducials formed on a top game surface of each game board, a first alignment fiducial disposed at a midpoint of a front edge of an associated game board and a second alignment fiducial disposed at a midpoint of a central opening formed through the top game surface;
- an alignment system for releasably coupling to a first game board of the pair of game boards, the alignment system including a marking line extending outward along a first positioning location over the pair of alignment fiducials on the first game board to create alignment therebetween, the marking line further extending to the second game board of the pair of game boards and to a second positioning location over the pair of alignment fiducials on the second game board, so as to create alignment between the first game board and the second game board;
- wherein the alignment system comprises a laser-based alignment system, including a laser light source for generating an output beam as the marking line.
