Ring Toss Rules
Basic Rules
The goal of Ring Toss is simple: score more points than your opponent by tossing rings onto the stakes. A ring that lands around a stake is called a ringer, and the middle stake is typically worth the highest points.
Before starting, players should agree on a scoring method:
- Cancellation Scoring: Only the net difference in points for the round is added to the scoring player’s total.
- Tally Scoring: Each player keeps all points earned each round and adds them to their cumulative score.
H-O-R-S-E
In this variation, the objective is to make ringers that your opponent cannot duplicate.
- If Player 1 makes a ringer and Player 2 fails to match it, Player 2 receives a letter.
- Letters accumulate to spell H-O-R-S-E.
- The first player to receive all five letters loses.
Five Stake Scoring
A fast, competitive scoring style where players race to reach a predetermined final score.
- Each stake has an assigned point value.
- Players score points by making ringers on those stakes.
- The first player to reach the agreed-upon score wins.
