ABSTRACT:
A game in which players competitively throw or roll a ball against an inclined backboard so as to make the ball fall through a hoop on an adjacent inclined backboard. The game comprises a flat board which may also be used as a scoreboard, and two portable stands on each of which a horizontal hoop is mounted on a flat surface which is inclined to the vertical. The game may be played by separating the two stands so that their inclined faces and hoops face each other. Each player, in turn, attempts to throw or roll a ball against the inclined face of his opponent's stand so as to cause the ball to fall through the hoop mounted on his own stand. Alternately the two stands may be placed side-by-side, facing in the same direction, with the scoreboard placed between the two stands and resting on the inclined faces. In this latter form of the game, each player in turn attempts to throw or roll the ball against the scoreboard so as to cause the ball to fall through his own hoop.
