ABSTRACT:
A method of playing a game has a plurality of groups of distinguishably identified markers which are tossed from behind a throwing line at a receptacle in an attempt to put the marker in the receptacle. The receptacle is recessed into the ground or other playing surface and is approximately thirty feet to fifty feet away from the throwing line, which may be another receptacle. A protective cover may be provided to enclose the receptacle when not in use to avoid any accidents or the accumulation of contamination therein. The marker may be shaped as a disc or washer and may be sufficiently heavy to be substantially unaffected by all but the strongest wind during play.
The game is played by the method of choosing teams, distributing the markers amongst each team, and then alternately tossing the markers from behind the throwing line at the receptacle until all of the markers have been thrown. The play is then scored by using a series of rules which award a first fixed number of points for each marker which lands in the receptacle, a second fixed number of points for each marker which overhangs the edge of the receptacle, and a third fixed number of points for each marker that is relatively closer to the receptacle than the corresponding markers of each of the other teams, depending upon whether a throw places a marker in the receptacle or an overhang has been thrown. The winning team may be determined by either the first team to accumulate a predetermined number of points, or the team having accumulated the most points after the lapse of a predetermined amount of time.
