Only one player can score per round. The washers in the pit will score depending on how close they are to the cup the closest one gets one point. Whoever manages to get a washer inside the cup will earn 5 points. This move even has its own name - the cupper.
In this scenario, points would be awarded considering the washers that are left. There are several ways for players to determine a winner. When one player or team reaches 11 points before their opponent scores their first point, the game is over. This is called skunk and the player or team with no points loses. A whitewash happens when a player or team reaches 17 points , while the opponent has only 1 point.
The game ends when the leading player or team hits number 17 on the scoreboard. The game can go full-term as well. In this case whoever has 21 or more points wins. If you want to add an atmosphere of seriousness to your game then the pits are a must. They are not really necessary but they help with the scoring.
Connect the timbers and fill the pit with earth to the top of the frame. The distance between the two pits is completely up to you. Of course, the greater the distance, the more difficult the game. However, you need to be careful not to put the pits too far apart as it may be overwhelming for the youngest players. Washer board game is yet another interesting version you may come across.
The game is usually played with pitching bags filled with sand instead of metal washers. That way, the board will be more or less protected. That way you can get a sense of how you could play with different equipment. The game consists of two pitchers playing against each other.
Both players should stand in their designated lane during the game. Players then need to start the game at the headboard and alternate throwing bags until each player has tossed all of them. And, they get four bags each. Then, they should walk to the other side, take the score and start throwing again. This variant is played by two teams of two players on each side.
Each player should stand in their designated pitcher box. The same rules apply as for the singles play and each player has 4 bags to pitch. Official rules for playing washers state that the player must pitch with the underhand throw. Players must not cross the foul line with their feet before the bag has landed.
The player or team who scored in the last round has the right to play first in the next one. If nobody scores, the player who tossed first in the last inning will play first in the next round. If you have a set of two one-hole washer boards to play with, then this game is usually played by two or four people. A player gets one point if the washer lands on the board. If a washer is leaning over the edge of the cup, this is worth three points. Obviously, a player gets a maximum of five points if they manage to get the washer inside the cup.
Playing a one-hole washer board requires a rule of placement. You should place your boards on a distance of 21 feet. In addition, you will need to stand at the back of the board while pitching. This is important because you should measure the distance between the boards from the back of each board to the center of the opposite cup. Once measured, the distance can be secured by adding eye hooks and a rope to your boards.
A player from each team should toss and the washer closest to the hole determines the first pitcher. The player or team who scored last throws first once the game starts. Remember that only one player or team per round may score. A round is over when each player has tossed all four washers. The winner is the first player or team to reach a total of exactly 21 points. The scoring system for this game is quite simple.
Be sure to face the washer boards horizontally and not sideways. Here are some basic rules for playing three-hole washer board game:. The middle hole is worth three points and the hole farthest from you is five points. We find that using diddle is the most entertaining way to determine who plays first.
The rules are pretty much the same as for every washers game. Just follow the basic ones like alternating players, only one player scores per round and end the round when each of the players has pitched all four washers. It seems like the game is most fun when you include point cancelation.
For instance, if player 1 gets three points and player 2 gets five, then player 2 earns two points for that round. So you should certainly consider keeping this rule. Again, the winner is the first player or team to reach These bags catch the washers when they fall in. Having five holes on the board really take this game to a whole different level.
Basically, the board consists of four holes close to each corner of the board with one hole in the middle. Whoever comes closest to the middle hole earns 2 points. Washer that lands on the board but is not closest to the middle hole is worth 1 point. The objective of the game is to try to toss a washer into one of the 5 target holes. Skip to content. Washers — As the name suggests, the main hardware you need to play washer toss is a piece of hardware itself.
Usually metal or plastic, washers are thin, disk-shaped plates that have a hole in the middle. The size varies, but game pieces are typically two to two-and-a-half inches in diameter with a one inch hole in the middle. Most games use four washers per team — although some variations use three — for a total of eight. Targets — There are a few different types of targets that can be used to create the field of play in washer toss.
The two most common are washer boards and washer boxes. A washer board is a slanted board that can vary in dimension with a hole cut in the middle — think a cornhole board with a smaller hole. Here are a couple areas to focus on to help you become a washer toss boss: The Throw — Using an underhand motion or pitch is best for most people.
For superior tossing accuracy, have the washer rest on your middle finger with your index finger curled around the edge. Let your thumb rest gently on top. This will help you get the washer to spin off your index finger at a trajectory parallel to the ground. The Stance — Like batters in baseball, different stances work best for different people. Some players find it helpful to take a step forward with their legs apart, while others keep their feet planted together in an anchored position.
It is helpful to throw from the same location each time to build consistency. Washers can be a two to four player game, individuals or teams.
To determine who will "pitch" first to start the game, a player from each team will pitch one washer toward the opposite board.
Whoever gets closest to the hole will start the game. This is called the "Diddle. After the game has started the person or team who scored last throws first.
The first player will pitch their four washers, one at a time, toward the opposite board followed by the second player's throws. Scoring is determined after both players have pitched all of their washers.
