- Tape the second 10x20 piece of carboard onto the first, creating the ramp that the ball will travel on.

- Don't tape the very top of the second piece of cardboard and instead bend the top back to create a ramp that the ball will travel on.

Add Walls As Support and to Keep the Ball In

- Cut two 10X15 pieces of card board and tape them as walls to the initial piece of cardboard on the end that has the score holes.

- Tape the first piece of cardboard at about a 35 degree angle.

Add Support to the Walls

- Cut a 10"x10" piece of card board.

- Tape this underneath the main board to act as a support to the walls.

- Cut a 2"x2" hole toward the top, this will later allow the duct that carries the ball back to the player.

Cut Down the Sides and Add Shielding

- Cut 3" wide pieces of car board and tape it around the exposed top portion of the board, this serves as a shield to keep the ball in the game.

- Cut the walls at an angle leaving 3" walls on the sides.

Create the Duct for the Ball

A duct underneath the board will allow the ball to travel back after being thrown.

- Bend a 4"x30" in half hotdog style to create a long duct with about a 45 degree angle.

Tip : if you have a box cutter you can cut half way through the carboard to make the bend cleaner.

Add the Duct

- Tape the duct underneath the board so that it lines up underneath the holes and extends to the front of the table.

Add Support to the Front

- Cut two 3"x8" pieces of cardboard and tape them to the sides in the front of the table.

- Cut one 10"x5" piece of cardboard and tape it to the front of the board, acting as support to the front and side front walls.

-Cut another 2"x2" hole in the middle on the top of the front of the board allowing the duct to line up with the hole.
