RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS:
Players take turns throwing bean bags at a hole in the opposing target board. Only bags that fall completely into the hole score the
designated points for that hole. The winner is the first player who scores 21 points.
Before you begin, recruit one person (for singles play) or three people (for two teams) to play with you. Find a flat, level playing area
where your play will not impact nearby activities. Consider safety first for all throwing games.
Assemble the target boards as shown. Place the two target boards a convenient distance apart: 10 to 25 feet (3 to 7.6m) works well
for most game play (see the diagram). Pick teams, 2 players for singles play and 4 for doubles. Toss a coin to determine which player
or team throws first. Assign bean bag colour to each player or team. Try a few warm up shots.
In singles play, players walk back and forth between target boards together as play unfolds. For team play, players split up, with one
member at each target board. Winner of the coin toss pitches all their bean bags to the target board on the opposite end, and waits
for the opponent to throw. After the first round, players and teams alternate who goes first.
In singles play, once all the bean bags have been thrown, the two opponents walk down to the target board and tally any points
that were made. Once scoring for that round is decided and tallied, both players will continue playing towards the other target
board, repeating this process until one player wins the game.
In team play, players from both teams take turns to throw their bean bags to the other target board where their teammates are
waiting. When these throws are complete, the other two players will mutually decide on the scores. When this first round is scored,
play begins in the opposite direction. The first two players who initially threw will now watch game play, and score the incoming
bean bags.
Any bean bag that leaves a player’s hand once the arm swings counts as a throw.
SCORING:
Points landed during a round from opposing players/teams cancel each other out. For example, if player A lands 8 points with his
throws and player B lands 3 points, then player A scores 5 points for that round. Play continues until match point of 21 is reached. If
scores are tied at 21, play one more round. Winner of the next round, wins the game.
Bean bags landing completely in the hole score the points designated on the board. They must be totally inside the hole to count.
Bean bags landing on top of the target board or hanging into the hole, do not score any points. Bean bags thrown on the ground or
out of the playing area, do not score any points. Any throws that bounce off tree limbs or any other obstructions are considered
foul, and receive no score. Bean bags that land on the board and then are knocked completely into a hole by a subsequent throw
(whether the same or opposing team) also count.
FOULS:
Invisible foul lines exist at the front edge of each target box. Players may not cross this line when throwing. These “foot fouls” result
in the loss of that throw and any score it may have gained. Back up so that you stay behind the front edge of each target board, if
you need more room to wind up and throw, to avoid a foot foul.
Bean bags landing on the target board or in the hole that were thrown during a foot foul must be removed from the playing area.
Bean bags Iying on top of the target board which are knocked into a hole by a foul bean bag must be returned to their original
position before play can resume.
EASY GAME VARIATION:
For inexperienced or younger players, eliminate the foul line rule from the game. The distance between boards may also be short-
ened.
