3 HOLE
BAG TOSS

Getting Started:

The game can be played by 2 players or 2 teams of up to 3 players on each team. To determine which player or team starts first, each player or team tosses 3 bean bags. The player or team that scored the most points should slide built in scorer to points earned and starts the inning.

 

Starting the Inning:

The player or team that scored points in the proceeding inning shall toss first in the next inning. If neither player/team scored points in the inning, the player/team who tossed first in the preceding inning shall toss first in the next inning.

 

Scoring:

The object of the game is to try to toss a bean bag into one of the 3 target holes. Play continues until one player or team reaches 21 points exactly after all 6 bean bags have been tossed in any one round. If a team/player goes over 21 points in any one round, no points are scored. 21 points exactly wins the round. A bean bag must land in a target hole to earn the points shown. All other areas earn no points. If a player's bean bag knocks another player’s bean bag into a hole, score points on final resting area.

 

GAME PLAY:

If a player's bean bag lands in a target hole and an opponent's bean bag lands in the same target hole, neither bean bag earns points and cancels one another. If 2 or more bean bags, tossed by the same player or team, land in a target hole, each bean bag tossed into the same target hole by an opponent cancels one of the first player's or team's bean bags. Points are only counted for the remaining bean bags not canceled by an opponent's bean bags in the target hole. Only player/team that had the most points scores points for that round.

 

Canceling Points in Game Play:

If the first player or team reaches exactly 21 points in a round, the opposing player or team must be allowed to take their final turn. If a player or team goes over 21 points in a round, all the points earned for that round by that player or team are canceled. The opposing player or team wins that round and starts the next round. If tie score, extra round is played and highest score in round wins the game. Rounds are only completed when all 6 bean bags have been tossed.

 

Winning the Game:

All bean bags must be tossed underhand. Each player must stand behind the toss line when tossing a bean bag. If a player's foot crosses the toss line when tossing a bean bag, his/her points for that toss are not counted and turn is lost. Distraction or interference with opposing players will result in lost turn.
