• The game shall be played until the first team of contestants reaches or exceeds 21 points at the

completion of a series of throws.

match.

• If the Team A player pushes their team above 21 points during their series, the Team B player

Team A points or knock any Team A bags off the board.

The score shall be taken after all bags have been thrown for an inning.

Points shall be given as follows:

• 3 points for a bag that goes through the hole even if it is knocked in after the initial toss.
• 1 point for a bag that is on the platform.
• 1 point for a bag that is hanging into the hole.
• 1 point for a bag that is hanging off the edge but not touching the ground.

If a bag strikes the ground prior to landing on the board, it will not be counted as a score. The bag should

be removed before the next throw.

If a bag is on the board, but is knocked off the board onto the ground by either a Team A or Team B bag,

that bag no longer has any value and will not count towards the series score.

Bags that hang on the front lip can be counted. You can tilt the box back and if the bag remains hanging

it will count, if it falls it will not be counted.

Cancellation scoring will be utilized.

If Team A scores 5 points and Team B scores 2 points, then Team A gets 3 points. and throws the first

bag of the next round.

If both teams throw the same score in a round, then they both receive zero points for that round, the

game score stays the same, and honors stays with the team who had it the previous round.
