First Claim
1. In a practice facility that simulates a sport playing environment, wherein the facility has a projectile striking region and a target region for the projectile, the improvement comprising a computerized feedback system that includes:
- a. an input device for receiving participant credentials sufficient to activate the computerized feedback system;
b. an output device for displaying perceptible output to a participant;
c. a target array including at least one target removably mounted in the target region and operative, when stimulated by the projectile, to produce at least one feedback signal; and
d. a data processing device adapted to;
i. receive each said feedback signal produced by the target array;
ii. process selected said feedback signals according to rules for the sport, thereby to generate processed data; and
iii. selectively transmit said processed data to the output device.

Abstract
An improvement for a practice facility that simulates a sport playing environment, wherein the facility has a projectile striking region and a target region for the projectile. The improvement is a computerized feedback system that includes an input device for receiving participant credentials sufficient to activate the computerized feedback system and an output device for displaying perceptible output to a participant. A target array including at least one target is removably mounted in the target region and operative, when stimulated by the projectile, to produce at least one feedback signal. A data processing device is included that is adapted to receive each feedback signal produced by the target array, process selected feedback signals according to rules for the sport in order to generate processed data, and selectively transmit the processed data to the output device.

8. A gaming system simulating a competitive sport involving a projectile, comprising:
-
a. a plurality of practice facilities each including; i. a simulated playing environment correlated to the sport, wherein the playing environment has a projectile striking region and a target region for the projectile; ii. a target array including at least one target removably mounted in the target region and operative, when stimulated by the projectile, to produce at least one feedback signal; and iii. a kiosk including an input device for receiving participant credentials and an output device for displaying perceptible output to the participant; and b. a data processing system including at least one data processing device associated with each facility, said data processing system adapted to; i. receive said feedback signals produced by the target arrays; ii. process selected ones of said feedback signals according to rules for the sport, thereby to generate processed data; and iii. selectively transmit said processed data to the output devices. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
