APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PLAYING A TOSS GAME

摘要

An apparatus for playing a toss game includes a stand (20) and a projectile (10) having two weights (12) connected by a tether (14). The stand (20) includes a base (22) supporting a goal (24). The goal (24) has crossbars (28, 30, 32), each of which is assigned a point value. A method of playing a toss game is played in series (40) each consisting of competitors tossing (42) a predetermined number of projectiles (10) at the goal (24). Competitors score points with projectiles (10) by looping over, wrapping around, or intersecting crossbars (28, 30, 32). Points are deducted when projectiles (10) are dislodged from the goal (24). Competitors attempt to obtain an aggregate score (48) equal (52) to a target value (50). Procedures for resolving ties (54) and tosses that cause competitors to exceed (44) the target value (50) may be employed.
