The Rules of Washer Toss
If you know cornhole, you'll know this one. It's almost the same rules and scoring as cornhole, with just some different pieces, shapes, and sizes.
Objective: Be the first team to reach at least 21 points
1. Take Your Spots
Line up at the board next to your opponent. If you're playing with four players, line up directly across from your teammate. Make sure all bags are at one of the boards.
2. Pitch the Washers
In each round, players alternate tossing washers until each player has tossed all four of their washers.
3. Take Score
Use cancellation scoring to take score after each round. In this scoring method, the points of one team cancel out the points of the opposing team. With this scoring, only the higher scoring team each round earns points.
In this example, Blue scored 6 points and Red scored 4 points. The 4 points from Red cancel out and Blue earns a net score of 2 points for the round.
4. Continue playing rotation until one team wins the game
Players at the opposite board then resume pitching rotation by tossing back toward the first target. Play continues in this order until one team reaches 21 points and wins the game!
