A receptacle for receiving a disc thrown in a disc game includes a vertically extending cylindrical sidewall presenting upper and lower portions, an upper edge, a lower edge, an inner surface, an outer surface, and a floor. The inner surface and the floor cooperatively define an open-topped interior chamber configured for receiving and retaining the disc. When the receptacle is installed in the ground surface or an elevated playing surface, the lower portion of the cylindrical sidewall extends approximately 3 to approximately 10 inches below the ground surface or playing surface and the upper portion of the cylindrical sidewall extends approximately 0.125 to approximately 5 inches above the ground surface or playing surface to block and reject discs sliding along the ground surface or playing surface or travelling lower than the upper edge of the cylindrical sidewall. |
