Game Set-Up
- Place game scoring zones at opposite ends of the field of play.
- The game board should be 20ft from the front of each scoring zone.
- Slide the weights into the sides of the game board with the grommet holes slightly sticking out of the pockets.
- Confirm the distance by attaching the border rope provided to the grommet hole in the weights in the game board.
Objective
The first team to score 31 points or the desired score before plays wins.
- Teams can be 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, or 4v4 playing at one time.
- One player from each time lines up on opposite sides of the playing field, behind the back part of the scoring zones, or it's a foul.
- If playing one-on-one, both players start on the same side.
- There are 4 bags per team with distinguishing colors.
- To start, each player throws, and the highest score decides who throws first.
- Winner of each round will begin the next round.
Gameplay
- A player has the option of throwing, or arching the bag down the court to the opposite scoring zone. *Note -must stand behind the back end of the board.
- The bag cannot roll up, slide, or bounce off the ground into the score zone. You must touch the opposite scoring zone mat first for it to count, otherwise it's immediately removed from play before another bag is thrown.
- A player has the option of knocking any opposing team's bags out of play to obtain a higher score or decrease the opposing team's score.
- At the end of each round, when all the bags have been thrown, the scores will be counted.
Scoring Points
- This is accomplished by one team's ability to land their bags in higher scoring zones than their opponents.
- Each zone represents a different value, shown by the zones themselves marked accordingly and the score cards provided.
- The team with the highest point value or values will cancel out the opponent's lower point values.
- Only one team can score points in each round.
- If each team has bags in the same scoring zones, those bags cancel each other out and no points are earned for either team.
Definition of a Score that Counts
- Bags – 3 corners of the bag must be touching in the zone to count.
- If the bag hits a non-playing surface prior to the landing zone and rolls on, it does not count and should be removed before play continues
- If a bag lands between 2 zones and is not clearly defined in one of the zones (3 corners of the bag) it does not count for either zone. Bags have no value in that case.
- #10 zone - If three corners of the bag are in the zone, it counts for 10 points.
- If the bag covers the #10 "bullseye"-zone completely with all 4 corners and doesn't get knocked out of that position by the opponent during that round, the game is over - winner.
Simplified Scoring Option / Beginner - Example of Scoring
Add each team's point value, and the team with the higher point total wins the round. Note that the points from the losing team are deducted from the winning team, and the difference is the score for that round.
Example 1: Team "A" has two bags in the 4pt zone and one bag in the 3pt zone. Team "B" has one bag in the 3pt zone and two bags in the 2pt zone.
Scoring: Team "A" gets the difference, 4 points for that round.
Example 2: Team "A" has one bag in the 4pt zone and one bag in the 3pt zone. Team "B" has three bags in the 3pt zone.
Scoring: Team "B" gets the difference, 2pts for that round.
