Abstract
A game system has a rack having a perimeter defined by a predetermined geometric shape. A plurality of balls are placed within the perimeter of the rack. A scoring surface receives player scores. A method of scoring based on one or more of the plurality of balls being knocked into a pocket of a playing surface.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1 . A game system comprises:
a. a rack having an adjustable geometric shape, wherein the adjustable geometric shape defines a perimeter of the rack; b. a plurality of balls placed within the perimeter of the rack, wherein the rack is positioned on a game surface covered in fabric; c. a game board configured to receive game data, wherein the game data is based on one or more of the plurality of balls being knocked into a pocket of game surface surface d.
2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a method of use, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
a. adjusting the perimeter of the rack to a predetermined geometric, wherein the perimeter of the rack is adjusted by adjusting angles of the perimeter; b. a first player arranging the plurality of balls into the perimeter, wherein the rack is placed in an initial position on the playing surface; c. removing the rack from the playing surface, wherein the plurality of balls remains in the predetermined geometry; d. a first player striking the plurality of balls, wherein if one or more of the balls enters the pocket of the playing surface a mark is created on the scoring surface; and e. a second player striking the plurality of balls, wherein if one or more of the balls enters the pocket of the playing surface a mark is created on the scoring surface.
3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises the step of the first player continuing to strike the plurality of balls until no ball enters the pocket, wherein when no ball enters the pocket, the second player begins striking the plurality of balls.
4 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises removing a marked score from the first player or the second player based on the opposite player striking one or the plurality of balls into the pocket.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the rack is comprised of a malleable material, wherein the malleable material facilitates dynamic adjustment of the perimeter of the rack.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the perimeter of the rack is comprised of a plurality of joints, wherein each of the plurality of joints is attached to rigid segments, wherein the perimeter of the rack is adjusted by manipulation of the rigid segments relative to each of the plurality of joints.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the perimeter of the rack is comprised of a plurality of rigid segments, wherein each of the plurality of rigid segments is separated by at least one joint.
8 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the perimeter of the rack is comprised of a plurality of rigid segments, wherein each of the plurality of rigid segments is separated by at least one joint.
9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein each of the at least one joint facilitates the adjusting of the perimeter of the rack.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
