This document describes the YardGames Ring Toss game, providing instructions for setup, gameplay, scoring, and care.

Function Description:

The YardGames Ring Toss is a classic outdoor game designed for 1-2 players per team. The objective is to toss rope rings onto wooden posts, scoring points for successful "ringers." It's a game of skill and accuracy, suitable for various outdoor settings.

Important Technical Specifications:

The game set includes:

• 2 Frame Pieces: These are wooden beams that interlock to form the base of the target.
• 5 Posts: These are wooden dowels that are inserted into the frame pieces to serve as targets for the rings.
• 6 Tossing Rope Rings: These are the rings players toss towards the posts.

Usage Features:

Setup:

1. Frame Assembly: The two frame pieces are designed to interlock. One frame piece has two holes, and the other has three. To assemble, lay one frame piece flat. The second frame piece is then placed on top, perpendicular to the first, with its central slot aligning with the central slot of the first piece. They slide together to form an "X" shape.
2. Post Insertion: Once the frame is assembled, the five posts are inserted into the pre-drilled holes in the frame. There will be one post at each end of the "X" and one in the center where the two frame pieces intersect.
3. Tossing Line: A tossing line should be established 5-10 feet away from the target, depending on the skill level of the players. Beginners might start closer, while more experienced players can move further back.

How to Play:

1. Teams: Two teams, each consisting of 1-2 players, start at the tossing line. Each team is equipped with three tossing rings.
2. Determining First Turn: Each team tosses one ring at the target. The team whose ring lands closest to or on the middle post goes first.
3. Gameplay Rounds:
   • Team A tosses their first ring.
   • Team B tosses their first ring.
   • Team A tosses their second ring.
   • Team B tosses their second ring, and so on, alternating turns.
   • Once all rings have been tossed (three per team), the round is complete.
   • Each team then tallies their score for the round.
   • If a team has two or more players, player 2 can toss in the next round, allowing for rotation among team members.

Scoring:

1. Ringers: Points are awarded only when a ring lands completely around a post. Rings that are merely touching or leaning on posts do not count for points.
2. Point Value: The points awarded for a ringer are based on the post it lands on. The document states "Ringers count for the points adjacent to each post," implying different posts may have different point values, though specific values are not detailed in this document.
3. Double Ringer: If a single player manages to get two rings around the same post in one round, it is considered a "double ringer" and counts for double the points for that post.
4. Cancellation: If two players from opposing teams both make ringers around the same post in the same round, their scores for that specific post cancel each other out, and no points are scored for that post by either team.
5. Tie-breaking: In the event of a tie in points at the end of a round or game, gameplay continues until the tie is broken.

Winning the Game:

The first team to reach a total of 100 points or more wins the game.

Maintenance Features:

Use and Care:

1. Material: YardGames Ring Toss sets are constructed from finished wood.
2. Water Resistance: The finished wood provides water resistance, meaning it can withstand some exposure to moisture.
3. Not Waterproof: It is important to note that the set is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to water or harsh weather conditions can cause damage.
4. Storage: To prevent damage and wear, the game should always be stored indoors in a dry area when not in use. This helps preserve the wood and extend the life of the game.
5. Adult Supervision: Adult supervision is required for children playing this game to ensure safe and proper use.
