ABSTRACT:
An outdoor lawn-type game for two or more players in which discs are flipped from the ground onto a trampoline device comprised of a resiliently-tensioned net held in a horizontal position by a frame with legs. The discs are flipped using elongated flipping sticks with two bent fork tines at one end. The objective of the game, in getting a specified number of a players' or teams' discs to rest on the net, is rendered difficult by the resilient nature of the net and various options allowed by the rules of the game to dislodge an opponent's disc from the net or send an opponents disc to a point distant from the net. Various competitive strategies and skills are required by the individuals and/or the teams playing the game. No special ground surface is required. The game may be played on grass, in the woods or on the beach.
