Abstract: The present invention includes a game table for use in a game such as hockey or soccer. The table includes a table bed having an upper support surface. A game surface is mounted on said upper support surface and has an upper playing surface upon which the game is played. As one feature of the present invention, at least one game status indicator is mounted to the table with a display face indicating game statistics such as the score or time. In one embodiment the display face is visible through the game surface which defines at least one transparent section over the game status indicator. In an alternate embodiment, the game indicator display surface is mounted flush with the upper playing surface. The game surface has a thickness separating an upper playing side and a lower side. Graphic decorations are printed between the lower side of the game surface and the upper support surface of the table bed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a football passing game system. A target with a number of target zone apertures of various sizes is mounted on a stand which holds the target a distance away from a player position. A game player attempts to pass a football through one of the defined target zone apertures. At least one light sensor is mounted adjacent each of the target zones to detect the passage of a football through an aperture. An impact sensor is mounted to the target and detects if the football impacts the target instead of passing through a target zone aperture. When a signal is generated by a light sensor or the impact sensor, a controller mounted to the target detects the signal and calculates the corresponding change in the game status. The game status is displayed on an electronic display adjacent the target.
