Scoring

How the result works

Score one point when your bag clearly knocks the target bag off the board or out of scoring position.

Example: Set the target bag in the same starting spot for each player.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Counting a small bump that leaves the target scoring. The target has to lose position.

Safety: Keep the target-board lane clear and reset the target bag only after the thrown bag stops.
