ABSTRACT:
A transportable playing court, having non-ball-confining boundaries. A target ball and a plurality of server player balls and non-server player balls are provided. During play, the players attempt to throw the balls onto the court, within the boundaries thereof, such that the closest ball to the target ball, within a playing zone, scores points. A ball distance measuring device is provided for indicating the distance between a player ball and the target ball. The measuring device includes indicia for permitting a quick determination of the distance between the two balls, according to the rules of the game. According to a handicapping method, a more skilled player can be held to a higher standard of performance than a less skilled opponent, so that the opponent may score even if his or her ball is not literally closer to the target ball.
