Abstract: An adjustable basketball goal which is characterized in a preferred embodiment by a vertical mount pipe secured to the ground, playing surface or other foundation, a sleeve pipe telescopically seated on the mount pipe in slidable relationship, with a rim-equipped backboard attached to the upper end of the sleeve pipe, and a linear actuator having a drive end secured to the ground, playing surface or other foundation and the opposite end attached to the sleeve pipe, such that operation of the linear actuator raises and lowers the sleeve pipe on the mount pipe, in order to adjust the backboard and rim to a selected height above the ground or playing surface.

Abstract: The game comprises a plurality of playing members capable of being stacked, columnar fashion, in various configurations. Each member has opposed flat surfaces for flat-wise engagement with a surface of a neighboring member and these surfaces are treated or otherwise provided as low-friction surfaces. The basic object of the game is to manually push one member rapidly from beneath an overlying member and to catch the pushed member before it falls to the playing surface. Cards are provided to designate the various types of stacked arrangements to be used in variations of the basic game. Scoring adjuncts are also provided. The playing members are provided in one set of several members configured as right parallelepipeds and another set of several members configured as low-altitude cylinders.
