摘要:
A system for automatic computer monitoring and management of a billiard game comprises a controller comprising a memory of processor executable code and a database of billiard game information, an image capturing system for capturing real time images of the billiard game and providing the controller with these images and a user interface. Execution of the processor executable code causes the controller to perform the computer implementable steps of storing in the database player information, identifying players of the billiard game based on the stored player formation, identifying the balls on the playing surface area of the billiard table, associating the identified balls to the identified players, assessing billiard game results by comparing the images to the stored billiard game information and communicating assessed billiard game results via the user interface. The system provides apparatus, kits and associated methods therefor.

A device for determining a lag winner in billiards and method of use are provided. The method disclosed includes placing a lag winner determination device such that the device is alongside a side rail of the billiards table and closer to a head rail of the billiards table than billiard balls used in the lag. The method further includes activating an illumination source within the lag winner determination device and moving the illumination source until it provides incident light to one of the billiard balls used in the lag. The method further includes determining the winner as a player that used the billiard ball that received the incident light from the illumination source.

A billiard table top lighting apparatus provides substantially uniform lighting across the surface of a billiard table surface. The frame may support one or more cameras, one or more motion sensors, one or more microphones, and/or one or more computing devices to enable any of a variety of innovative features. Such features could include automatic game play recording from one or more perspectives, merged video track storage for replay, review, and analysis, automatic lighting and dimming control, control of the apparatus from any mobile device, automatic provision of a shot clock, and the like.

The present invention discloses a position detection device including a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer, and a processor. The first electrode layer includes a plurality of first electrodes, and the second electrode layer includes a plurality of second electrodes. A gap is formed between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer. The processor detects a plurality of capacitive values between the plurality of first electrodes and the plurality of second electrodes so as to measure the movement track of a conductive object passing through the gap.

Cue sports tables are provided with associated automated sensor and positioning assemblies. This permits competitors to play each other on separate tables. The tables automatically sense ball positions on one table and communicate that to a positioner associated with another table. That positioner then automatically drives balls on that other table to a mimicking position. These systems also permit a shot to be replayed if desired.

A racking device for arranging a plurality of balls on a table includes a frame having a proximal end and a distal end, a racking portion coupled to the frame adjacent the distal end, a handle bar coupled to the frame, and a ball setting member comprising an engagement surface. The racking portion includes at least two side walls that are coupled together to form a corner. The distal end of the frame and the side walls define a void configured for receiving the plurality of balls. The ball setting member is coupled to the handle bar, and the engagement surface of the ball setting member is movable toward the void to urge the balls against the side walls and into abutment with each other and away from the void without disturbing the arrangement of the balls.

A present scoring method relates to a billiards sessions, matches, or tournaments having a ball in hand handicap system permitting varied skill level players to compete with more experienced players. Teams comprised of multiple players compete periodic in a series of games to determine ranking based on point values assigned to wins and losses. Team tournament and scoring based from method process determine ultimate winner of said tournament.

A moving billiards system for moving billiards game play is described. The moving billiards system includes a pocket billiard table having a rectangular playing surface with two opposing long-side edges and two opposing short-side edges and at least four corner pockets and two side pockets. The moving billiard system also includes a rack having a five-sided frame wall construction configured and sized to provide a stylized double-bolt arrangement of at least eleven object balls, and a movement space surrounding the billiard table. The movement space allows a first team having at least a first player and a second player and a second team having at least a third player and a fourth player to freely move about the billiard table during moving billiards game play.

摘要:
A ball separator for separating the balls of a first ball game from the balls of a second ball game. The ball separator includes a housing having an inlet for receiving the balls and in which a ball receiving part of the housing is movable between a first position in which at least one outlet is provided for dispensing balls under gravity to a first receptacle and a second position in which at least one outlet is provided for dispensing balls under gravity to a second receptacle. An actuator is provided to move the ball receiving part of the housing between the first and second positions.
