Suction dart target game system

Abstract

A suction dart target game system includes a throwing member with a central protrusion, and first and second suction cups; and a target marker with a target suction cup; such that the target marker is attached to a mounting structure, such that a user can throw the throwing member at the target marker from a distance, such that the throwing member rotates in flight, such that either the first suction cup or the second suction cup attaches to a surface area of the mounting structure adjacent to the target marker, if a throw is successful. Also disclosed is a suction dart target game method, including positioning a target marker, throwing a throwing member, and measuring a distance.

         4 . The suction dart target game system of  claim 3 , wherein a surface area size of the outer surface of the target body is larger than a surface area size of an outer surface of an attaching suction cup of the at least one throwing member, such that the attaching suction cup is configured to attach to the outer surface of the target body, such that the at least one throwing member is capable of landing on the target marker. 
     
     
         5 . The suction dart target game system of  claim 1 , wherein the target body is configured as a plate, such that main opposing surfaces of the target body are parallel to an elongated axis of the target marker. 
     
     
         6 . The suction dart target game system of  claim 1 , wherein the target body is elongated and rotationally symmetrical around an elongated axis of the target marker. 
     
     
         7 . The suction dart target game system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one throwing member further comprises:
 a central protrusion which is configured to protrude from a center portion of the throwing body.   
     
     
         8 . The suction dart target game system of  claim 7 , wherein a weight of the central protrusion is in a range of 35%-43% of a total weight of the at least one throwing member. 
     
     
         9 . The suction dart target game system of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one throwing member further comprises:
 a first stem portion, such that an outer end of the first stem portion is connected to an inner end of the first suction cup; and   a second stem portion, such that an outer end of the second stem portion is connected to an inner end of the second suction cup;   such that the central protrusion is connected between the first stem portion and the second stem portion.   
     
     
         10 . The suction dart target game system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one throwing member further comprises:
 a first handle portion, which is positioned between an outer end of the first suction cup and a center of the throwing body; and   a second handle portion, which is positioned between an outer end of the second suction cup and the center of the throwing body.   
     
     
         11 . The suction dart target game system of  claim 10 , wherein the first handle portion and the second handle portion are each configured with a ribbed surface texture. 
     
     
         12 . A suction dart target game method, comprising:
 positioning a target marker, wherein a user attaches the target marker to a mounting structure; and   throwing a throwing member, wherein the user throws the throwing member towards the target marker from a throwing distance, such that the throwing member rotates in flight, such that either a first suction cup or a second suction cup of the throwing member attaches to a surface area of the mounting structure adjacent to the target marker.   
     
     
         13 . The suction dart target game method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 measuring a target distance from the throwing member to the target marker, when the throwing member is attached to the surface area of the mounting structure adjacent to the target marker.   
     
     
         14 . The suction dart target game method of  claim 12 , wherein the target marker is positioned on a vertical surface of the mounting structure. 
     
     
         15 . The suction dart target game method of  claim 12 , wherein the target marker is positioned on a horizontal surface of the mounting structure. 
     
     
         16 . The suction dart target game method of  claim 12 ,
 wherein the throwing member comprises:
 a throwing body; 
 the first suction cup, which is mounted on a first end of the throwing body, such that an outer end of the first suction cup faces away from the throwing body; and 
 the second suction cup, which is mounted on a second end of the throwing body, such that an outer end of the second suction cup faces away from the throwing body; and 
   wherein the target marker comprises:
 a target body; and 
 a target suction cup, such that an outer end of the target suction cup is connected to an inner end of the target body, such that an outer end of the target body faces away from the target suction cup; 
 wherein the target suction cup is configured to detachably attach to the mounting structure.
