How to Play
Boxes are placed 30 feet apart from center of hole to center of
hole
The bean bag toss game can be played with 2 or 4 players
Each
team gets 4 bean bags to throw
When 4 players are used, team members stand at opposite ends and
may throw from either side of the box
Each player throws from behind the front of the boxes. This is
the foul line. The player must not pass the foul line or the players
throw does not count and the bag is removed from play
Each
team alternates shots beginning with the team that had scored last
Points are scored when a player has a bag on the board or in the
hole
Only one team can score per round. Therefore points cancel each
other
A point scored on the board is equal to 1 point, a point scored
in the hole is equal to 3 points
An example of cancellation is as follows: Team one has 2 bags in
the hole and 1 bag on the board equaling 7 points (3 pts. + 3 pts.
+ 1 pt. = 7 pts). Team two has 1 bag in the hole and 1 bag on the
board equaling 4 points (3 pts. + 1 pt. = 4 pts.). The lowest score
is subtracted from the highest score to get the points earned for
team one (7pts. - 4 pts. = 3pts.). Team one earns 3 points in this
round and gets to throw first in the next round
Game is played until one team scores 21 points. A team can win
by a white wash which is 11 - 0
A bag that is tossed in play and knocks another bag off or in the
hole is legal
A bag that bounces from the ground onto the board is not a legal
play. This bag must be removed from the board and play is then continued
Variations for recreational play
Each team gets 4 bean bags to throw
To
speed play, all points scored count (no points cancellation)
