How to Play Bar Shuffle Board
Bar shuffle board is most of the times used for table shuffle board due to the huge popularity of the game in sports bars and other establishments. It is a great game that is usually played on a big, narrow and waist high table. The aim of the board game is to move pucks down the table in order for them to come to rest close to the other end of the table, and making sure they remain on the table. You can play against one other person or with a partner against another team. A very well known bar shuffle board game is Knock Off and is mostly played in tournaments.

Getting started
Both players stand at one edge of the table and take their turns sliding their pucks towards the other end. Remember that this is for individual play only. The main aim is to move all your pucks as farther down the end of the table and make sure it does not fall of the table while sliding. Be aware of the fact that you can come in contact with other pucks with your slides. When all of the pucks have been pushed down the table single frame is completed. After doing this, you score the frame and then start again from the other end of the table. The game is finished when either of the players scores 15 or 21 points and whoever scores this much wins the game. Make sure the winning point total needs to be set before the game begins. -

Team game
Know that shuffle board can be played by more than two players but there needs to be a team of two players on each side. There are two ways to play in this manner. One team can play at one side of the table for a frame and then have the second team play from the opposite end for the next game. This switching of sides continues until a team win the game. On the other hand, every player can slide two pucks each frame. -

How does the scoring works?
Team games are most of the times scored to 21 points. After the frame, the player whose puck is the closest to the edge of the table scores points for that particular frame. The remaining player or players score 0 for the frame.
