Washer Toss games

Hole and box values must be announced before frame 1.

• Hole and box values must be announced before frame 1.
• Compatible host: Hole-In Score Climb. Use flat-topped, one-hole washer boxes and three matching washers. These are house formats for that equipment. Put the target on a level, clear lane; mark a throwing line 4 metres from its near edge. Everyone waits behind the active line. Write each player’s name and five frame columns on a score sheet. Use the currently active marked line as the release limit: a foot touching or crossing it at release makes that toss a foul worth 0. A playing participant may act as host or caller and keeps every ordinary offered turn; another participant checks that player’s result. No separate nonplaying host is required. In each frame, every player takes one turn of three controlled underhand tosses at the same target. Let all three washers settle before scoring; then stop throwing, collect them and clear the target for the next player. Keep the same order for five frames. A washer through the central hole scores 3; one resting on the flat top scores 1. Ground, side and outer-rim rests score 0. Count each washer once at the end of its player’s turn; add all five frame scores. There is no cancellation in this format. Highest total after five complete frames wins; equal totals share the win. Everyone receives the same number of scored turns. Selected rule: Before frame one, read the house chart aloud: through the central hole 3; resting on the flat top 1; ground, side or outer rim 0. Keep that chart for all five frames. 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 a toss or turn records 0 for declined attempts, without removing later offered turns or requiring a reason. Set boxes on a clear lane away from walkways and grills. One thrower at a time, keep others behind the foul line, never throw washers toward people, and pause for people crossing the lane. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.

• Compatible host: Cancellation Box Classic. Use flat-topped, one-hole washer boxes, three washers in each of two distinguishable colours, and a visible score sheet. Mark a 4-metre throwing line on a level, clear lane. Form two sides of 1–4 players, split as evenly as possible. List each side’s throwing order and twelve frame columns. Use the currently active marked line as the release limit: a foot touching or crossing it at release makes that toss a foul worth 0. A playing participant may act as host or caller and keeps every ordinary offered turn; another participant checks that player’s result. No separate nonplaying host is required. Play twelve frames. One player from each side throws its three washers, alternating one controlled underhand toss at a time with the other side. Keep all six washers in place until the frame is scored. The next teammate pitches the next frame; repeat each side’s listed order. Alternate which side starts. Both sides receive 36 tosses; with unequal rosters, turns are equal within each side, not between the two different-sized rosters. Each hole is 3 and each flat-top rest 1. Cancel opposing washers one for one within each value: hole against hole, top against top. Score every uncancelled washer for its side. A hole never cancels three top washers. For example, A has one hole and one top, B has two tops: cancel one top each, then A posts 3 and B posts 1. Both sides may score in the same frame. Ground, side and outer-rim rests score 0. Judge final resting positions only after all six tosses; then clear the target. Highest side total after all twelve frames wins; equal totals share the win. Selected rule: Use the twelve-frame Cancellation Box Classic format with two sides and three colour-matched washers each. Cancel opposing washers one for one within each value: hole against hole, top against top. Score every uncancelled washer for its side. A hole never cancels three top washers. For example, A has one hole and one top, B has two tops: cancel one top each, then A posts 3 and B posts 1. Both sides may score in the same frame. Each uncancelled hole scores 3 and each uncancelled flat-top rest 1; ground, side and outer-rim rests score 0. 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 a toss or turn records 0 for declined attempts, without removing later offered turns or requiring a reason.

Everyone receives the same number of scored turns. Selected rule: Before play, mark a far safety line 1 metre beyond the target’s back edge and announce the final-frame condition. Frame five requires controlled soft underhand tosses; any washer landing beyond the line scores 0 even if it rebounds. All other values and the normal shared-tie result stay unchanged.

Put the target on a level, clear lane; mark a throwing line 4 metres from its near edge. Everyone waits behind the active line. Write each player’s name and five frame columns on a score sheet. Explain that honesty points are recorded separately from game points. A foot on or beyond the line at release is a foul. In each frame, every player takes one turn of three controlled underhand tosses at the same target. Let all three washers settle before scoring; then stop throwing, collect them and clear the target for the next player. Keep the same order for five frames. A player calls their own foul before anyone else points it out and before scoring. Another player confirms the event calmly. Stop all throws before retrieving a fouled washer. A washer through the central hole scores 3; one resting on the flat top scores 1. Ground, side and outer-rim rests score 0. Count each washer once at the end of its player’s turn; add all five frame scores. There is no cancellation in this format. The fouled toss scores 0.

Highest total after five complete frames wins; equal totals share the win. Everyone receives the same number of scored turns. Apply the selected rule’s explicitly stated replacements to the host; keep the remaining host rules. Selected rule: Use with Honesty Call Bonus · Washer Toss.

• Each side gets one box challenge per match.
• Compatible host: Box Measure Challenge. Use flat-topped, one-hole washer boxes, three washers in each of two distinguishable colours, and a visible score sheet. Mark a 4-metre throwing line on a level, clear lane. Form two sides of 1–4 players, split as evenly as possible. List each side’s throwing order and twelve frame columns. Give each side one challenge token. A named scorer from either side records the initial call while all washers remain still; both sides can inspect from the lane only after throwing stops. Use the currently active marked line as the release limit: a foot touching or crossing it at release makes that toss a foul worth 0. A playing participant may act as host or caller and keeps every ordinary offered turn; another participant checks that player’s result. No separate nonplaying host is required. Play twelve frames. One player from each side throws its three washers, alternating one controlled underhand toss at a time with the other side. Keep all six washers in place until the frame is scored. The next teammate pitches the next frame; repeat each side’s listed order. Alternate which side starts. Both sides receive 36 tosses; with unequal rosters, turns are equal within each side, not between the two different-sized rosters. Before retrieval, a side may spend its token to ask both sides to recheck a hole, top or outside call together. Inspect without moving the washer; a tape cannot prove a hidden resting position. If both sides agree the recorded call was wrong, correct it. Otherwise keep the recorded call and award no bonus point. A separate host may help but is not required. After both sides finish, each washer through the hole scores 3 and each washer resting on the flat top scores 1; ground, side and outer-rim rests score 0. Add each side’s points without cancellation. Stop throwing before collecting and resetting. A confirmed correction earns the challenger 1 bonus point and corrects the underlying washer score. Spend the token on that first challenge, successful or not; each side can earn at most 1 bonus. An incorrect or inconclusive challenge adds no bonus. Highest side total after all twelve frames wins; equal totals share the win. Selected rule: Each side has one token for the match. A named scorer records the initial hole/top/outside call before washers move. A challenge pauses retrieval while both sides inspect together. An agreed correction updates the washer score and adds 1 bonus point; otherwise keep the recorded call and add no bonus. Spend the token on the first challenge regardless of outcome. A separate host may help but is not required. This selected rule replaces only its explicitly named schedule, distance, task or score condition; keep all remaining host rules.

Everyone receives the same number of scored turns. Selected rule: The host checks the target’s sides and back before every toss, then brings all waiting players behind the active line. Do not throw until the lane is clear. Completing those checks earns the group 1 shared process point at match end, separate from competitive scores; safety remains compulsory even if that point is lost.

Both sides receive 36 tosses; with unequal rosters, turns are equal within each side, not between the two different-sized rosters. After both sides finish their ordinary frame-twelve turns, the eligible side chooses one member to take its single extra toss from the same line. Score the ordinary frame before clearing for that toss. After both sides finish, each washer through the hole scores 3 and each washer resting on the flat top scores 1; ground, side and outer-rim rests score 0. Add each side’s points without cancellation. Stop throwing before collecting and resetting. Add the extra toss at the same 3/1/0 values. Eligibility remains fixed from the end of frame eleven even if the ordinary final frame changes the lead. Highest total after twelve ordinary frames and the declared comeback toss wins; ties share. The single extra toss is the announced exception to equal side quotas. Selected rule: Identify the trailing side after frame eleven; a tie means no bonus toss. After both sides finish the ordinary twelfth frame, that side chooses one member for one extra toss from the same line. Score it 3/1/0 and add it to its side’s total. This one toss is the announced exception to equal quotas. This selected rule replaces only its explicitly named schedule, distance, task or score condition; keep all remaining host rules.

• Optional score cap prevents early skunk shutouts.
• Compatible host: Skunk Prevention Cap. Use flat-topped, one-hole washer boxes and three matching washers. These are house formats for that equipment. Put the target on a level, clear lane; mark a throwing line 4 metres from its near edge. Everyone waits behind the active line. Write each player’s name and five frame columns on a score sheet. Before frame one, choose whether to use the house cap of 6 game points per player per frame. Record that choice for the whole match. Use the currently active marked line as the release limit: a foot touching or crossing it at release makes that toss a foul worth 0. A playing participant may act as host or caller and keeps every ordinary offered turn; another participant checks that player’s result. No separate nonplaying host is required. In each frame, every player takes one turn of three controlled underhand tosses at the same target. Let all three washers settle before scoring; then stop throwing, collect them and clear the target for the next player. Keep the same order for five frames. Score holes 3, flat-top rests 1 and other rests 0. If the cap was chosen, post no more than 6 points from a player’s three-toss turn; otherwise post their full turn score. Always play all five frames: no lead or zero opponent score ends the game early. Highest total after five complete frames wins; equal totals share. The cap limits a single frame’s score; it does not guarantee a close result. Selected rule: Before starting, choose the optional maximum of 6 game points per player per three-toss frame. Keep that choice for all five frames. Play every frame even if someone has zero or the lead is large; there is no early skunk ending. A cap limits the frame score, not the final margin.

• Compatible host: Leaner on Box Edge. Use flat-topped, one-hole washer boxes and three matching washers. These are house formats for that equipment. Put the target on a level, clear lane; mark a throwing line 4 metres from its near edge. Everyone waits behind the active line. Write each player’s name and five frame columns on a score sheet. Before play, choose whether to count central-hole-rim leaners as 2. Here the rim means the edge of the central hole, not the outside edge of the box. Demonstrate a washer supported by that rim and visibly tilted into the hole; a washer lying flat across the opening is not a leaner. If the equipment cannot hold that position clearly, leave the optional leaner rule off. Use the currently active marked line as the release limit: a foot touching or crossing it at release makes that toss a foul worth 0. A playing participant may act as host or caller and keeps every ordinary offered turn; another participant checks that player’s result. No separate nonplaying host is required. In each frame, every player takes one turn of three controlled underhand tosses at the same target. Let all three washers settle before scoring; then stop throwing, collect them and clear the target for the next player. Keep the same order for five frames. Before moving washers, the scorer records each resting result. Each player has one recheck request for the match. On a request, stop play and inspect the position together; correct the call only if both the scorer and requester agree. Otherwise keep the recorded call. A recheck adds no bonus and uses the request whether or not the call changes. If selected before play, a clearly tilted central-hole-rim leaner scores 2. Through the hole scores 3; a flat-top rest scores 1; ground, side and outer-rim rests score 0. Count a washer once: 3 for through-hole, otherwise 2 for the selected leaner, otherwise 1 for flat top, otherwise 0. With leaners switched off, only the ordinary 3/1/0 chart applies. Add five complete frames. Highest total after five complete frames wins; equal totals share the win. Everyone receives the same number of scored turns. Selected rule: Before starting, agree whether a washer supported by the central hole rim and visibly tilted into the hole scores 2. A flat washer spanning the hole is not a leaner. Through-hole scores 3, otherwise an agreed leaner 2, otherwise flat top 1, otherwise 0; count each washer once. Outer box edges never earn leaner points. If that position cannot be demonstrated clearly, leave the option off. Keep the host’s five frames and one recheck request per player. 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 a toss or turn records 0 for declined attempts, without removing later offered turns or requiring a reason. Set boxes on a clear lane away from walkways and grills. One thrower at a time, keep others behind the foul line, never throw washers toward people, and pause for people crossing the lane. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.

• Compatible host: Kids Spot Lane · Washer Toss. Use flat-topped, one-hole washer boxes and three matching washers. These are house formats for that equipment. Put the target on a level, clear lane; mark a throwing line 4 metres from its near edge. Everyone waits behind the active line. Write each player’s name and five frame columns on a score sheet. For a mixed-age group, mark a separate 2-metre line for younger participants and keep an adult supervising their turns. Record adults and younger players in separate scoring columns. Use the currently active marked line as the release limit: a foot touching or crossing it at release makes that toss a foul worth 0. A playing participant may act as host or caller and keeps every ordinary offered turn; another participant checks that player’s result. No separate nonplaying host is required. In each frame, every player takes one turn of three controlled underhand tosses at the same target. Let all three washers settle before scoring; then stop throwing, collect them and clear the target for the next player. Keep the same order for five frames. Use the same target in separate turns, never two active lanes at once. Everyone waiting moves behind the currently active line. Adults use 4 metres; younger participants use 2 metres. A washer through the central hole scores 3; one resting on the flat top scores 1. Ground, side and outer-rim rests score 0. Count each washer once at the end of its player’s turn; add all five frame scores. There is no cancellation in this format. After five complete frames per player, name the highest total separately on the younger-player and adult tracks. Ties within either track share that win; never compare totals across the two distances. Selected rule: adults throw from 4 metres, supervised younger players from 2 metres, with five three-toss turns each. Use the same target in separate turns and move everyone behind the active line. Keep separate totals and winners for the two distances; ties share within their track. This selected rule replaces only its explicitly named schedule, distance, task or score condition; keep all remaining host rules.

• Draft washer colors before play.
• Compatible host: Color Washer Blind Draft. Use flat-topped, one-hole washer boxes, three washers in each of two distinguishable colours, and a visible score sheet. Mark a 4-metre throwing line on a level, clear lane. Form two sides of 1–4 players, split as evenly as possible. List each side’s throwing order and twelve frame columns. Put one slip for each set colour in a bag. Captains draw once to allocate the two otherwise matching sets; record ownership and do not swap colours during the match. Use the currently active marked line as the release limit: a foot touching or crossing it at release makes that toss a foul worth 0. A playing participant may act as host or caller and keeps every ordinary offered turn; another participant checks that player’s result. No separate nonplaying host is required. Play twelve frames. One player from each side throws its three washers, alternating one controlled underhand toss at a time with the other side. Keep all six washers in place until the frame is scored. The next teammate pitches the next frame; repeat each side’s listed order. Alternate which side starts. Both sides receive 36 tosses; with unequal rosters, turns are equal within each side, not between the two different-sized rosters. After both sides finish, each washer through the hole scores 3 and each washer resting on the flat top scores 1; ground, side and outer-rim rests score 0. Add each side’s points without cancellation. Stop throwing before collecting and resetting. Award the group 1 process point once both colour assignments are recorded before the first toss.

Everyone receives the same number of scored turns. Selected rule: Before starting, select one frame to use this closest-only score instead of ordinary 3/1/0. Measure each player’s nearest legal washer to the central hole: a hole-in is distance 0; otherwise measure the shortest gap between the washer’s nearest outer edge and hole edge. A ground washer inside the clear lane can be measured; exclude fouled, side and outer-rim rests. The closest player earns 2, tied closest players each earn 2, and a frame with no legal results scores 0 for all. Do not also add 3/1 points.

The captains write and read aloud: through hole 3; flat top 1; ground, side or outer rim 0; no cancellation; twelve frames. Both sides confirm before the first toss. Use the currently active marked line as the release limit: a foot touching or crossing it at release makes that toss a foul worth 0. A playing participant may act as host or caller and keeps every ordinary offered turn; another participant checks that player’s result. No separate nonplaying host is required. Play twelve frames. One player from each side throws its three washers, alternating one controlled underhand toss at a time with the other side. Keep all six washers in place until the frame is scored. The next teammate pitches the next frame; repeat each side’s listed order. Alternate which side starts.

Count each washer once at the end of its player’s turn; add all five frame scores. There is no cancellation in this format. Highest total after five complete frames wins; equal totals share the win. Everyone receives the same number of scored turns. Selected rule: Use with Hole-In Score Climb and select this cap before play. Replace its five frames with three full frames of three tosses per player. If the highest totals tie, only the tied players take one further equal three-toss frame using the same chart. If still tied, share the win; do not keep extending. 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 a toss or turn records 0 for declined attempts, without removing later offered turns or requiring a reason. Set boxes on a clear lane away from walkways and grills. One thrower at a time, keep others behind the foul line, never throw washers toward people, and pause for people crossing the lane. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.

Use the currently active marked line as the release limit: a foot touching or crossing it at release makes that toss a foul worth 0. A playing participant may act as host or caller and keeps every ordinary offered turn; another participant checks that player’s result. No separate nonplaying host is required.
