As you may have seen if you have watched shuffleboard games, the shuffleboard scoring is applied to those players following each round to ensure fairness for everyone.

Play continues while you can try to knock or hit your puck so it pushes your opponent’s puck out of its position, or in some cases, you can even push it completely off the table.
