Talk:Air hockey

What about the rules?
I came here to read a bit more about the rules of Air Hockey and, to my surprise, I didn't even find a link to them.

Google, as always, is your friend:

A simplified version of the rules can be found here: https://goldstandardairhockey.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/ah-rules-basic-2.pdf

The official page of the United States Air Hockey Association is https://www.Airhockey.com (redirects to https://www.airhockeyfan.com) and its official Facebook page is on https://www.facebook.com/USairhockey while the Air Hockey Players Association used to also have its own page: https://theahpa.com (currently taken over), but now they're on https://theahpaevents.com/ as well as on https://www.r2sports.com/.

The Czech-based World Table Hockey Association (http://www.billiard-hockey.com/our-games/) also organises European and World Championships of Air Hockey, using a very slightly modified version of the USAA rules.

Why is it included? I mean the game doesn't seem particularly connected to air hockey outside of some superficial things. Also is the 8-track player relevant at all? In a quick search I could find earlier patents that depict something way more similar and relevant to the subject. https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search/family/032923949/publication/FR1354075A?q=pn%3DFR1354075A https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search/family/051086440/publication/ES22617U?f=oprid%3Ain%3D19500101-19681231&q=game%20machine&queryLang=en%3Ade%3Afr https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search/family/051087599/publication/ES23813U?q=hockey%20game%20machine

This one's are the most interesting, a clear precursor to modern air hockey IMO: https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search/family/051096807/publication/ES33280U?q=hockey%20game%20machine https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search/family/051082377/publication/ES18400U?q=hockey%20game%20machine
