Washers

My father and mother brought us this game, having discovered it during their RV travels.  It's a portable game that's a cross between horseshoes and beanbag toss.

Rules

Equipment: Two sets of large washers (3 washers per player)

bulletStand on leading edge (10 foot end rope is attached) of board for throws.  Foot may not extend over edge of board.

bulletHoles count 1 point for nearest, 3 points for middle and 5 points for furthest.

bulletEach competitor pitches three - three inch washers per turn. (i.e., one competitor pitches three washers and then the other competitor pitches three)

bulletTurn determined by last competitor to score.
(i.e., even if the last person to throw scores zero, but cancels points scored by competitor in that round.)

bulletScore can be cancelled by pitching a washer into the same hole as competitor.  Opposing washers zero one another.
(i.e., competitor one scores a 1 and two 3s, competitor two scores a 1, a 3 and a 5.  Result: Competitor one gets 3 points, competitor two gets five points)

bulletFirst competitor to score exactly 21 points wins.  If both competitors tie at 21 in same round, game restarts at 11 each.

bulletIf a competitor scores over 21, then subtract score from last point total.  (i.e., current score 18, scores 3 for 21 but scores a second washer counting 5 which equals 26.  Add both washers and subtract from 18 = 10)
