COURT LAYOUT & GAME INSTRUCTIONS

Getting Started:

The game is started by selecting which player will go first. This is done by one player flipping a coin in 

the air and the opposing player guessing which side will land face up, heads or tails. If the opposing 

player guesses correctly, they can choose to go first or last. Players should stand 25ft (7.62m) from the 

target. The distance can be shortened if space is limited.

25ft (7.62m)

YOU ARE NOW READY TO PLAY!

OFFICIAL RULES

Two Player Play:

Players stand at opposite targets and toss in alternating turns. After player #1 tosses their first bolo at 

the target, player #2 would then toss one of their bolas at the target. After both players have tossed all 

of their bolas, the round is over and a score should be calculated (see “scoring”). Both players can 

score points in the same round, if their tossed bolas earned points. The player that scores the highest 

points tosses first in the next round. If no points were scored in the round, the player who tossed first 

in the previous round would continue to toss first.

Team Play:

Two teams of 2 players each should be determined. Players on each team should stand at opposite 

targets. Players toss in alternating turns. After player #1 from team A tosses one of their bolas at the 

target, player #1 from team B would then toss one of their bolas at the target. This alternating playing 

method should continue for all players until all tosses have been played. After all bolas have been 

played, the round is over and a score should be calculated (see “scoring”). Both teams can score 

points in the same round, if their tossed bolas earned points. The team that scored the highest points 

in the round tosses first in the next round. If no points were scored in the round, the team who tossed 

first in the previous round would toss first.

Scoring:

1 Points:  

A bolo that lands on the bottom bar scores 1 point.

2 Points: 

A bolo that lands on the middle bar scores 2 points. 

3 Point: 

A bolo that lands on the top bar scores 3 point.

Note:

1. Injury to yourself or others may occur if bolas are used improperly. Please see proper tossing 

technique in “key points”, #1. 

2. Do not attempt to wrap bolas around body parts.

3. Adult supervision is recommended for younger players.

4. The ladderball target is designed for normal game play, see official rules. Misuse of the ladderball 

target may result in personal injury and/or damage to the target. Do not sit or stand on the

ladderball target.

Game:

A regulation ladderball game is 21 points or nine rounds, whichever comes first. One round consists

of both players tossing their three bolas in an alternating pattern. You must win by two or more points. 

If the game is tied after nine rounds, additional rounds are played to determine a winner. The winner

of each round shoots first in the next round. Players alternate tossing bolas until all tosses have been played.

Key Points:

1. The most effective way to toss your bola is to place the lanyard between your middle and forefinger 

with the golf ball laying in between your fingers. A gentle underhand toss and release motion will give 
you the best chance of attaching the bolas to the target.

2. Players alternate tosses until all bolas have been played.
