Auto-scoring throwing game assembly employing hook-loop connection

Abstract

A throwing game assembly includes a hooks or loops target surface with hooks or loops formed thereon and having at least one score area is defined on the target surface. At least one switch device is located behind the hooks or loops target surface and activated when a throwing object hits and is caught on the score area which is deformed and concaved to activate the at least one switch device. The switch device sends an induction signal to a CUP in a signal receiving member electrically connected to the throwing game assembly and the signal receiving member generates proper feedback and display scores. The feedback can be cooperated with audiable signals, illumination features, voice, music, LED, LCD, backlight LCD, backlight board, LED screen to precisely show the scores automatically, and not only enhance fun for the player but also the fairness of the game.
