Game Rules
Number of Players
We allow you to have as many players on your team but please note that only two players can play at a time.
Game Court
Boards are placed 27 feet apart. Front to front. The front of the boards serve as the foul lines. One player on each side of the board. Players stand directly across from their teammate, no crisscross. Players stay in their lane throughout the match; you can not rotate throwing from the same side.
Game Start Of Game
To start play, toss a coin or the bag in the air and this will determine who gets first toss. After the first bag is tossed, the opposing players on the same end of the court alternate tosses until both opposing players have alternately tossed all four (4) of their bags. When both (opposing) players on one end of the court have alternately tossed their bags, scores are tallied using cancellation scoring. This competes a frame.
Points and Scoring: Game is played to 21 Points- You do not have to score “21”

Points and Scoring
Game is played to 21 Points- You do not have to score “21” exactly. You do not have to win by 2. In the hole: 3 points. A bag is considered in the hole if: It is thrown directly into the hole (Ringer), It strikes the board and surface and slides into the hole, It lands on the board and then is knocked in the hole by any other subsequent bag. On the board: 1 point. A bag is considered on the board if it comes to rest on the board surface without first touching the ground. A bag that touches the ground before coming to rest on the board surface is considered a dead bag and should be removed before the next bag is thrown. Out Of Play: 0 Points. A bag is out of play if it neither is in the hole nor on the board. A bag may be knocked out of play by any subsequently thrown bag.
Point Cancellation
Only the point difference in each frame is added to the game score
Example: After a player from Team A and B have alternated tossing all 4 of their bags, you add their points. If the player from Team A has 2 in the hole, 1 on the board and 1 off the board = 7 points. If player B has 1 in the hole, 2 on the board and 1 off the board =5 points. Only team A would score 2 game points.
Toss Rotation
The player of the team who scored in the frame tosses first to start the next frame.
