How To Install Abacus Shuffleboard Score Counter

Most shuffleboard tables do not come with an electronic score unit or use one. The large score units look good in some rooms and on some of the tables, but the most common scoring unit is the abacus Shuffleboard Table score beads.  We carry score beads on our website, and they will work on any shuffleboard table model. Some common questions we get with abacus score beads are.

The most common location is the top molding towards the table's shooting end against the wall side. We usually line up the end of the abacus with the line to score 2 points. This way, it is not too far of a reach, but each team or player can keep a score of their points on that end of the table. You use one set of beads for each team or each puck color. Keep in mind if you have something like a dining top for your shuffleboard, you will have to install beads on the side of the table. This way, they are not in the way of the dining table. Another location that many customers use is installing them on the wall.

The abacus score units are designed for the gamer of knock-off, and the most common points are 15 or 21. The beads usually have two colors for each team. Our abacus beads are made from black and natural-colored wood. The game point for the winning score of 15 is the alternative color. So on the black beads, that score point would be natural, and the opposite on the natural color beads. 

The most common location to install score beads is on the molding edge of the shuffleboard table. You would use a similar method if installing on the side of the table. For wall installation, use the plastic wall anchors or inserts.  See this video here on how to install your Shuffleboard Table Score Beads.
