• Confirm the complete peg chart before frame one; keep values fixed.
• Compatible host: Captain Chart Lock · Ring Toss. This is a local ring-toss format. Use three stable pegs and three matching rings on a clear lane. Set the pegs at near, middle and far positions and label their house values 1, 2 and 3 respectively, with the far peg highest. Mark a throwing line 2 m from the nearest peg; try the distance before scoring and agree any access adjustment then. Use a visible roster and score sheet. Choose a captain for each side and post the near 1, middle 2, far 3 chart before frame one. A foot fault means touching or crossing the marked throwing line while releasing a ring; that ring scores 0. Arrange the near, middle and far pegs in depth with more than one full outside ring diameter between peg centers, so a ring cannot surround two pegs. Check that the matching rings fit freely over each peg; use stable equipment that permits this layout. Keep the layout fixed and remove all rings after each scored turn before the next person starts. A playing participant may host or check and keeps every offered turn; another participant checks that person’s own result. No separate nonplaying host is required. Play three frames. In each frame, each player takes one turn of exactly three offered underhand ring attempts from behind the line. Let each ring stop before the next toss; nobody retrieves until all three are scored. A legal ringer finishes with the peg inside the ring’s opening. A ring merely leaning on or touching the peg without surrounding it scores nothing. The thrower and checker confirm the result, then retrieve on the all-clear. All sides confirm the posted values before the first scored turn; resolve unclear labels then rather than after results. For each scored turn, record any release or boundary foul when it happens. After the last offered toss has stopped, judge every ring by its final resting position; a later ring may move an earlier one before this check. A fouled ring stays 0 wherever it ends. Count only this turn’s rings, post the result, then retrieve all of them on the all-clear. A player may pass any remaining offered ring for 0 without losing other legal ring points or later turns; no reason or substitute task is required. Each legal ringer scores its peg’s posted value: near 1, middle 2, far 3. Add all three ring scores to the thrower’s total. A miss, foot fault or other illegal toss scores 0 for that ring; it does not erase the turn’s other legal rings. Record 1 shared clarity point once after everyone can inspect the chart; keep it separate from competitive points. After three full frames and equal scheduled three-ring turns, highest total wins. Ties are shared. A pass adds no score and does not remove later scheduled turns. The shared clarity point does not choose the winner. Selected rule: Use the host’s near 1, middle 2, far 3 house chart and legal-ringer definition. All sides inspect it before the first three-ring turn and resolve unclear labels then. Values never change midframe. Record the host’s shared 1 clarity point once, outside competitive totals; this modifier creates no second bonus. This selected rule replaces only its explicitly named schedule, distance, task or score condition; keep all remaining host rules. Use only this selected rule, with no other optional twists or duplicate comeback. Passing preserves other earned points and later offered turns. Set pegs on a clear lane away from walkways and glass. One thrower at a time, keep others behind the foul line, never throw rings toward people, and pause for anyone near the pegs. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.

Each legal ringer scores its peg’s posted value: near 1, middle 2, far 3. Add each frame’s ring score to the thrower’s total. A miss, foot fault or other illegal toss scores 0 for that ring; it does not erase earlier legal scores. Record actual peg points, with no additional frame-win bonus. After three complete one-ring frames and equal scheduled attempts, highest cumulative peg total wins; ties are shared. Selected rule: Use the host’s one-ring quota, near/middle/far values and settled-ringer test. The highest legal peg result wins the frame, with tied highs sharing it. Keep actual peg scores for the three-frame match; frame recognition adds no extra invented bonus. Retrieve only after checking and the all-clear.

• Compatible host: Short-Lane Precision · Ring Toss. This is a local ring-toss format. Use three stable pegs and three matching rings on a clear lane. Set the pegs at near, middle and far positions and label their house values 1, 2 and 3 respectively, with the far peg highest. Mark a throwing line 2 m from the nearest peg; try the distance before scoring and agree any access adjustment then. Use a visible roster and score sheet. For this compact house option, use a nearer line 1.5 m from the near peg and mark a fixed far line 1 m beyond the far peg, with generous clear overshoot space beyond it. This is a scoring line, not a safety barrier; relocate the entire lane before play if the clear space is unavailable. A foot fault means touching or crossing the marked throwing line while releasing a ring; that ring scores 0. Arrange the near, middle and far pegs in depth with more than one full outside ring diameter between peg centers, so a ring cannot surround two pegs. Check that the matching rings fit freely over each peg; use stable equipment that permits this layout. Keep the layout fixed and remove all rings after each scored turn before the next person starts.

A player may pass any remaining offered ring for 0 without losing other legal ring points or later turns; no reason or substitute task is required. Each legal ringer scores its peg’s posted value: near 1, middle 2, far 3. Add all three ring scores to the thrower’s total. A miss, foot fault or other illegal toss scores 0 for that ring; it does not erase the turn’s other legal rings. Any ring that crosses or stops beyond the marked far boundary scores 0, even if it later lands around a peg. After three full frames and equal scheduled three-ring turns, highest total wins. Ties are shared. A pass adds no score and does not remove later scheduled turns. Selected rule: Use the host’s fixed nearer throwing line and marked far boundary. Apply the same three-ring quota, peg chart and legal-ringer test in the finale. Any part of a ring crossing beyond the fixed far boundary scores 0 for that ring, even if it returns inside; stop unsafe force regardless of the possible score.

Play three frames. In each frame, each player takes one turn of exactly three underhand tosses from behind the line. Let each ring stop before the next toss; nobody retrieves until all three are scored. A legal ringer finishes with the peg inside the ring’s opening.

A player promptly self-calls an accidental foot fault before pickup; an opponent confirms kindly and the ring remains 0. Each legal ringer scores its peg’s posted value: near 1, middle 2, far 3. Add all three ring scores to the thrower’s total. A miss, foot fault or other illegal toss scores 0 for that ring; it does not erase the turn’s other legal rings. Add 1 separate honesty point at most once per player per match for that confirmed accidental call. It never cancels or delays a safety pause. After three full frames and equal scheduled three-ring turns, highest total wins. Ties are shared. A pass adds no score and does not remove later scheduled turns.

• Compatible host: Peg Measure Challenge. This is a local ring-toss format. Use three stable pegs and three matching rings on a clear lane. Set the pegs at near, middle and far positions and label their house values 1, 2 and 3 respectively, with the far peg highest. Mark a throwing line 2 m from the nearest peg; try the distance before scoring and agree any access adjustment then. Use a visible roster and score sheet. Treat each player as a side, or form equal-sized teams; give each side one challenge marker and agree on a checker who may also play. A foot fault means touching or crossing the marked throwing line while releasing a ring; that ring scores 0. Arrange the near, middle and far pegs in depth with more than one full outside ring diameter between peg centers, so a ring cannot surround two pegs. Check that the matching rings fit freely over each peg; use stable equipment that permits this layout. Keep the layout fixed and remove all rings after each scored turn before the next person starts. A playing participant may host or check and keeps every offered turn; another participant checks that person’s own result. No separate nonplaying host is required. Play three frames. In each frame, each player takes one turn of exactly three offered underhand ring attempts from behind the line. Let each ring stop before the next toss; nobody retrieves until all three are scored. A legal ringer finishes with the peg inside the ring’s opening. A ring merely leaning on or touching the peg without surrounding it scores nothing. The thrower and checker confirm the result, then retrieve on the all-clear. Before rings are collected, a side may challenge a reported peg value or whether a ring actually surrounds a peg. The agreed checker inspects the undisturbed result; when that checker is the thrower, another participant checks it. Measuring near-misses is not part of the ordinary chart. For each scored turn, record any release or boundary foul when it happens. After the last offered toss has stopped, judge every ring by its final resting position; a later ring may move an earlier one before this check. A fouled ring stays 0 wherever it ends. Count only this turn’s rings, post the result, then retrieve all of them on the all-clear. A player may pass any remaining offered ring for 0 without losing other legal ring points or later turns; no reason or substitute task is required. Each legal ringer scores its peg’s posted value: near 1, middle 2, far 3. Add all three ring scores to the thrower’s total. A miss, foot fault or other illegal toss scores 0 for that ring; it does not erase the turn’s other legal rings. Correcting a valid challenge earns 1 to the challenging side, and the corrected underlying ring score still posts to its proper thrower or team. A wrong challenge earns 0. The single marker is spent either way. If one ring’s result cannot be established, first record the other reliably established ring scores, then clear the rings and give one replacement toss of only the uncertain ring from the same line, with no challenge bonus. That replacement contributes its own result once, never an extra fourth ring. If it also cannot be scored reliably, record 0 for it without blame. The marker remains spent and all already established scores stand. After three complete equal turns per player, highest side total including its challenge bonus wins; ties are shared. Equal-sized teams use the same number of player turns. Selected rule: Before pickup, challenge the reported peg value or whether a ring surrounds a peg. Use the host’s agreed playing checker and undisturbed result. A wrong challenge spends the marker; a correct challenge also uses the one allowed marker, earns the host’s 1 bonus and corrects the underlying score. An unestablishable ring result uses the host’s one replacement of only that uncertain ring from cleared pegs, with no bonus. Established ring scores stand; an unreliable replacement becomes 0 and the marker stays spent. Safety calls and arithmetic corrections remain available. This selected rule replaces only its explicitly named schedule, distance, task or score condition; keep all remaining host rules. Use only this selected rule, with no other optional twists or duplicate comeback. Passing preserves other earned points and later offered turns. Set pegs on a clear lane away from walkways and glass.

Mark a throwing line 2 m from the nearest peg; try the distance before scoring and agree any access adjustment then. Use a visible roster and score sheet. Form two teams and post repeating teammate rosters. Multiply their team sizes to set the same scheduled team-turn quota for both: two and three members gives six turns each. This completes both rosters. Announce that quota and the extra-ring exception before play. A foot fault means touching or crossing the marked throwing line while releasing a ring; that ring scores 0. Team quotas are equal, but individual ring counts differ between unequal rosters: six three-ring turns give a two-person team nine rings per person and a three-person team six. Counts are equal within each team; this is a team-total contest. Arrange the near, middle and far pegs in depth with more than one full outside ring diameter between peg centers, so a ring cannot surround two pegs. Check that the matching rings fit freely over each peg; use stable equipment that permits this layout. Keep the layout fixed and remove all rings after each scored turn before the next person starts. A playing participant may host or check and keeps every offered turn; another participant checks that person’s own result. No separate nonplaying host is required. Alternate teams, with the next named teammate taking exactly three underhand tosses from behind the line. A legal ringer finishes with the peg inside its opening; merely touching or leaning on the peg does not count. Wait for each ring to stop and check all three before retrieval on the all-clear. Continue until both teams complete the posted equal quota. For each scored turn, record any release or boundary foul when it happens. After the last offered toss has stopped, judge every ring by its final resting position; a later ring may move an earlier one before this check. A fouled ring stays 0 wherever it ends.

A miss, foot fault or other illegal toss scores 0 for that ring; it does not erase the turn’s other legal rings. After both complete equal scheduled team-turn quotas, the strictly trailing team may take one extra legal ring by its next willing teammate, using the same line and chart. This is the explicit equal-opportunity exception. A tie receives none. Highest final total wins; final ties are shared. Selected rule: Announce the exception before the host’s complete equal scheduled team-turn quotas. After those quotas, the team strictly behind takes one extra ring by its next willing teammate under the same line and peg chart. Tied teams receive none. This is the explicit exception to equal scheduled rings; highest final total wins and final ties are shared. Do not stack another extra-ring rule.

A playing participant may host or check and keeps every offered turn; another participant checks that person’s own result. No separate nonplaying host is required. Play three frames. In each frame, each player takes one turn of exactly three offered underhand ring attempts from behind the line. Let each ring stop before the next toss; nobody retrieves until all three are scored. A legal ringer finishes with the peg inside the ring’s opening. A ring merely leaning on or touching the peg without surrounding it scores nothing. The thrower and checker confirm the result, then retrieve on the all-clear. A new player may announce the closer line before one scheduled toss, mark the option used and return to the ordinary line for later tosses. This changes distance for that ring, not the quota. For each scored turn, record any release or boundary foul when it happens. After the last offered toss has stopped, judge every ring by its final resting position; a later ring may move an earlier one before this check. A fouled ring stays 0 wherever it ends. Count only this turn’s rings, post the result, then retrieve all of them on the all-clear. A player may pass any remaining offered ring for 0 without losing other legal ring points or later turns; no reason or substitute task is required. Each legal ringer scores its peg’s posted value: near 1, middle 2, far 3. Add all three ring scores to the thrower’s total. A miss, foot fault or other illegal toss scores 0 for that ring; it does not erase the turn’s other legal rings. After three full frames and equal scheduled three-ring turns, highest total wins. Ties are shared. A pass adds no score and does not remove later scheduled turns. Selected rule: Use the host’s 1.5 m optional spot and 2 m ordinary line. Before one scheduled ring, announce and mark the option used; keep that ring’s ordinary peg value and the same turn quota. Later rings use the normal line. Necessary access support is agreed separately and is never capped by this optional game feature. This selected rule replaces only its explicitly named schedule, distance, task or score condition; keep all remaining host rules. Use only this selected rule, with no other optional twists or duplicate comeback. Passing preserves other earned points and later offered turns. Set pegs on a clear lane away from walkways and glass. One thrower at a time, keep others behind the foul line, never throw rings toward people, and pause for anyone near the pegs. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.

After both teams complete the same scheduled turn quota, highest cumulative total wins; ties are shared. No team receives an unmatched last turn. Selected rule: Use the host’s repeating teammate rosters; teams of two and three can take six team turns each so everyone within a team acts equally.

Each legal ringer scores its peg’s posted value: near 1, middle 2, far 3. Add all three ring scores to the thrower’s total. A miss, foot fault or other illegal toss scores 0 for that ring; it does not erase the turn’s other legal rings.
