ORIGINAL GAME PLAY

LAWNCH RULES:

Singles:

1. Set boards 15’ apart from the front edges of the boards. Players toss to the board that is 15’ away, that is their board and the one that will have his/her score on it. The sacks must be tossed from behind the center hole on either side of the board or from behind the board. Note: “Experts” should move the distance to 18’, beginners can move the boards closer together.
2. The first player tosses 3 sacks per turn toward their board. The opponent scores the points with the pegs or sliders (plastic set) provided in the appropriate scoring slot. The pegs will start in the “0” holes for each frame number 1-6.
3. The second player tosses their 3 sacks, and players will switch off turns until the game has ended. If a sack goes in the bullseye the player must close out any one of the 6 frames not yet closed, and must do so immediately after tossing the bullseye. Once all sections are closed, a player must hit a bullseye to win the game.
4. If both players or teams have closed all 6 frames (OVERTIME) and are tossing for bullseye to end the game and one player tosses a bullseye, the opposing player or team will get 3 tosses to hit a bullseye. If they hit a bullseye, this triggers a “Sudden Death” round where each player/team tosses only one sack per turn until a player tosses a bullseye to win the game. The very first bullseye wins the game (NO redemption in sudden death)
5. If the sack lands on a line, the opponent is the judge of scoring its position. The recessed area where the majority of the sack is positioned is what the point value will be. If a score cannot be determined, return the sack for a re-toss. (Do not throw any more sacks until a point value is awarded). A sack cannot hit the ground before it lands on the board. It becomes a “dead sack” and is not included in the player’s score for that turn. If a “dead sack” gets on the board, it must be left there, untouched, until all 3 sacks have been tossed.
6. If a sack bumps into any other sack, already on the board and causes it to move, the final position is scored.
7. INSTANT WIN “The BRANDON rule”. If any player tosses 3 bullseyes in a row… INSTANT WIN!

Doubles:

Same rules. Teams play from the same side and switch turns, one player from team A tosses, then one from team B, and you continue rotating until the game ends.

DISCLAIMER: Please do NOT leave wood boards out in the weather, although they are moisture resistant, they are NOT WATER-PROOF. Do NOT leave the boards set up as they may warp over time.
