WARNING
Adult supervision is required at all times
when children are playing. Being struck by
a thrown object can cause serious injury.
THE GAME
The game can be played 2 ways, singles or doubles. In singles play, the first player tosses 1 Bean Bag. Then the
second player tosses 1 Bean Bag. Continue this way until each player has tossed all 4 Bean Bags. After points are
counted, the players switch turns and toss again for the next round.
In doubles play, using one Target at each end of the court, two opposing players toss from the same side of the court.
One member of team number one tosses 1 Bean Bag and one member of team number two tosses 1 Bean Bag
from the same side of the court. Continue until each player has tossed all 4 Bean Bags.
After points are counted, the teams at the opposite side of the court toss the Bean Bags with the team number two
tossing first. The points are counted again and the game continues to the next round with the teams alternating turns.
GENERAL RULES
Each player must stay 15 to 25 feet away from the Target when throwing a Bean Bag. This distance should be
determined before the start of the game based on the players’ ages and abilities. Players must not try to distract,
splash or interfere with the player tossing a Bean Bag.
SCORING POINTS
A Bean Bag that lands completely in Target Hole earns 3 points. A Bean Bag landing anywhere on the Target
Platform earns 1 points. If a Bean Bag is knocked into the Target Hole by another Bean Bag it earns 3 point. If a
Bean Bag is knocked off the Target Platform by another Bean Bag it losses its point.
If a player’s Bean Bag lands in the Target Hole and an opponent’s Bean Bag lands in the Target Hole, neither Bean
Bag earns points. If 2 or more Bean Bags, tossed by the same player of team, land in the Target Hole, each Bean
Bag tossed into the Target Hole by the opposing player or team cancels one of the first player’s or team’s toss. Points
are only counted for the remaining Bean Bags not matched by an opponent’s Bean Bag. All Bean Bags remaining on
the Target Platform earn points.
NOTE: Only one team can earn points in any one round. If the first team scores 6 points and the second team
scores 10 points, the second team receives a total of 4 points and the first team scores zero points for that round.
Subtract the lower score from the higher score to calculate the actual score for any one round.
WINNING THE GAME
If the first player or team reaches 21 points in a round and is less than 12 points ahead of the opposing player or
team, the opposing player or team must be allowed to take its turn. In the event of a tie, the game goes into “sudden
death” mode and the first player or team to reach 3 points ahead of the opposing player or team, in the same round,
wins the game. Rounds are only completed when all the Bean Bags have been tossed by both players or teams.
