Standard measurements for the scoring areas on a shuffleboard table?

April 2, 2024 7:50 AM

I am building my own 16 foot shuffleboard table, and to my surprise there seem to be no official standard sizes for the 1, 2, and 3 point scoring zones and for the "foul lines" on each side of the playfield. Shuffleboard owners and/or better Googlers than me: is there a standard for the size of each scoring zone? (Bonus question: if you built a shuffleboard table do you have any tips or lessons to share?)

Does this help? The length of the play area from triangle base to base is 39' so you'd need to scale things down, but it looks about right.

Best answer: 3.1.1.2.1. The 3-line shall be 6 inches from each end of the playing surface.
3.1.1.2.2. The 2-line shall be 12 inches from each end of the playing surface.
3.1.1.2.3. The short foul-line shall be 6 feet from each end of the playing surface.
