    The game of shuffleboard is played by either two persons against each other called singles, or by four persons (2 against 2) called ___________________.

    Correct Answer
    doubles
    Explanation
    The game of shuffleboard can be played in two different formats. When two persons play against each other, it is called singles. On the other hand, when four persons play, with two persons on each team, it is called doubles. In doubles, the two teams compete against each other, with each player taking turns to slide their discs down the shuffleboard court and score points. This format allows for teamwork and strategy, as the players work together to outscore their opponents.

This rule promotes balanced gameplay and allows players to strategize and coordinate with their partners effectively.
