In a game played on a billiards or pool table, a game time is a predetermined time value which is divided between two players or sides as allocated playing time to be counted only whilst a player is at the table. A player's or side's score is reduced according to an amount by which actual playing time overruns allocated playing time during the game time. To this end, time registering and scoring apparatus comprises a master clock (22), first and second player clocks (24, 25), switch means (21) for causing one or other of the player clocks (24, 25) to run with the master clock (22), first and second score store means (26, 27, 28, 29), input keypads (19, 20) for entering data, and digital processing means (30) connected to all these components and incorporating instructions to subtract from the score store means according to an amount by which a player's time used exceeds a predetermined share of a total game time. |
