Abstract
A game table is provided with a generally flat playing surface having opposed playing ends position spaced apart in a length dimension to allow players to participate from each of the playing ends. The playing surface has a length dimension greater than a width dimension of the playing surface. A plurality of holes is formed with a V-shaped pattern oriented in the length dimension. The V-shaped pattern is positioned adjacent each of the playing ends. The V-shaped pattern has a plurality of holes that increase in diameter away from the end hole. A gutter surrounds the playing surface.
Claims14
A game table comprising:
- a horizontal and planar playing surface having opposing playing ends;
- a pair of hole patterns formed adjacent each of said opposing playing ends, each hole pattern having a plurality of holes decreasing in diameter toward said opposing playing ends, wherein each hole pattern of said pair of hole patterns is formed in two rows of holes intersecting at an end hole being closest to each of said opposing playing ends to form a V-shaped hole pattern of said pair of hole patterns;
- a gutter formed along and surrounding said horizontal and planar playing surface along longitudinal side edges and back edges adjacent said opposing playing ends and configured to catch balls that roll off of said horizontal and planar playing surface along each of said longitudinal side edges and along each of said back edges adjacent said opposing playing ends;
- a plurality of balls each smaller than said end hole and said gutter;
- and smaller than a width of
- a pair of ball catches, one of said ball catches disposed below one of each of said plurality of holes.

A game table comprising:
- a horizontal and planar playing surface having opposing playing ends spaced apart in a length direction having a length dimension to allow players to participate from each of said opposing playing ends, said length dimension greater than a width dimension of said horizontal and planar playing surface;
- a pair of V-shaped hole patterns oriented in said length direction, each of said V-shaped hole patterns formed adjacent one of said opposing playing ends, each of said V-shaped hole patterns having a plurality of holes extending through said horizontal and planar playing surface, said plurality of holes decreasing in diameter toward a center-end hole positioned closest to said opposing playing ends wherein each said V-shaped hole patterns are symmetric about a longitudinal centerline in said length direction of said horizontal and planar playing surface;
- at least one ball sized smaller than said center-end hole of said plurality of holes;
- a gutter formed along and surrounding said horizontal and planar playing surface along longitudinal side edges and back edges adjacent said opposing playing ends;
- and configured to catch balls that roll off of said horizontal and planar playing surface along each of said longitudinal side edges and along each of said back edges adjacent said opposing playing ends;
- and
- a pair of ball catches, each ball catch of said pair of ball catches disposed below each of said plurality of holes.
