From Quiz Are you Ready for Some Foosball?
Answer:
Four numbered arches at the end of the table
Sjoelen is also known as Dutch shuffleboard and is played on a two metre (6.5 foot) table. The game, which draws influences from bagatelle (a variant of billiards), the arcade game skeeball and, to a lesser extent, pin-ball and mini-golf, requires a player to slide 30 discs down the table through the arches of four numbered channels. These arches, from left to right, are worth 2, 3, 4 and 1 points. The discs that do not find their way (entirely) into the arches are then returned to the player for a second and, finally, a third turn. Cleverly the scoring is designed so that it is more advantageous for a player to place discs into all four channels rather than just the higher scoring ones. One set of discs in each channel (arch) allows the player to double his score for those four discs. For example, if a player manages to get two discs into each channel and an extra three discs into the three point arch he will score a total of 49 points: One disc in each channel equals 2+3+4+1 (total 10) which is doubled for 20 points. As he's completed this twice, it means 40 points. The other three discs in arch 3 are counted singularly as three points each for an additional tally of 9.
