ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a playing field layout for playing a game with a throwable object of saucer-like characteristics, such as the well-known "Frisbee". The layout comprises a rectangular field divided across its short dimension by a skip court midway between the end lines. This skip court is of hardened material compared to the rest of the field and is of such nature as to cause the thrown object to bounce or skip to the player at the opposite side of the skip court. This player catches the object and throws it back, again skipping it from the skip court. To facilitate skipping, the skip court has its opposite edges that are parallel to the end lines formed as ramps that slope up to the top flat surface of the skip court. The remainder of the field may be of any suitable type, such as lawn, clay, etc.
