Individual Event Rules:

​​

BEERSBEE

Scoring:

• Games are played to 15 points

• A total of 2-points per throw is possible. If the offensive team hits the pole or bottle, knocking it off, and the defensive team:

• Fails to catch the Frisbee 1-point is awarded to the offense.

• Fails to catch the Bottle 1-point is awarded to the offense.

• Fails to catch the Frisbee AND the Bottle 2-points are awarded to the offense.

• 0 points are awarded if the defensive team catches BOTH the Frisbee and the Bottle.

• 1-point is awarded if the defensive team knocks the Bottle off the pole at any time. If they knock it off during an offensive play, scoring as if the Frisbee knocked it off is applied.

• If a player knocks the Frisbee away before it has a chance to hit the pole/bottle, 1-point is awarded and the team throws again. IT MUST BE CLOSE TO BE CONSIDERED INTERFERENCE. CLOSE CALLS WILL RESULT IN NO POINT AND A RE-THROW.

• The bottle must be completely off the base before a player can catch the bottle. If a player grabs the bottle before it falls the 1-point is awarded.

• 1-inadvertant interference or grab is allowed per game. INADVERTENT is determined by the players and members of the audience’s discretion.

• Games are played to 15 points and must be won by 2 or more points or the first team to 21 wins (games can end 21-20; team with 20 doesn’t get a chance to extend the game).

Game Play:

• The objective of the game is to knock the beer bottle off the opposing team’s pole either by direct hit, hitting the pole, or just tripping up your opponents.

• Two posts or pipes roughly chest high, and are spaced a decent Frisbee toss apart stuck squarely in to the ground (typically 10 paces apart).

• An empty beer bottle is placed on the top of each pole.

• Each team of two players stands next to one pole, facing each other.

• Choose the throwing order/turn order.

• Teams alternate turns throwing and defending.

• Both players throw per ½ inning (team-a player1 then team-a player2; then team-b player1, team-b player2)

• Each team may only throw one disc at a time.

• The thrower must not step completely in front of their pole. If they do, the throw is null and void and they lose their turn. One foot behind the line.

• The defenders aim is to prevent the bottle from hitting the ground while at the same time catching the Frisbee, and not spilling any beer.

• When a team reaches 15-points, the opposing team has one last throw REGARDLESS OF WHO THREW FIRST in the event a team is down 2 or less points to extend the game into sudden death.

• Find out more on this new event here and here (but there rules are slightly different than those posted above).

 

WASHERS

Scoring:

• Games are played to 15 points

• 1 point for each washer in the box

• 3 points for each washer in the coffee can

• 5 points for any washer on the railing of the box

• There are no cancellations, all points in the round count.

• Washer totals are not official until the round is over. (when all 8 washers have been thrown) Example, the gray team lands a washer on the railing, for 5 points, the red team shoots and knocks it off, therefore it would not count

Game Play:

• Each player will have 4 washers per round

• 1 team is Gray, the other is Red

• Players will alternate shots until all washers have been thrown, that is when the round ends.

• Washers may bounce of the ground and into the box, can or land on the railing and still count.

• Once a washer touches a person it is dead. Example: if the washer bounces out of the box and hits a player and lands back in the box, it does not count.

CORNHOLE

Scoring:

• Games are played to 15 points

• 3 points for each bag in the hole

• 1 point for each bag on the board

• Score is the difference in the team totals

  • For example:

  • After 1 round of 8 bags played,

  • #1 team with 1 bag in the hole = 3 points

  • #2 team with 2 bags on the board = 2 points

  • Score for the 1st round for #1 team = 1 point

• Bags pushed in by an opponent’s toss count as being in for that color (not the person throwing)

• The game is over if the score reaches 11 to Zero (SKUNK)

• If a bag ever touches the ground or is tossed out of turn, it doesn’t count

• Bag totals are not official until the round is over (when all 8 bags have been thrown).

• Follow these steps to easily calculate the score:

  • Take away or remove “offsetting or canceling” bags from the board. The net “board” bag or bags are positioned at the bottom of the board.

  • Retrieve the bags in the hole and discard offsetting/canceling bags to the side. The “net” bags, are positioned over the hole.

  • The team net round score is calculated by subtracting or adding the points from the board bags and the hole bags.

Game Play:

• Each player will have 4 bags per round

• Players will alternate shots until all bags have been thrown, that is when the round ends.

• The team awarded points in the round goes first after that. If 0 revert back to who went first in the prior round.

• Distance is determined by standing the dart point straight up.

• If the point of the dart when standing up is in the circle it is a 3-point dart.

Game Play:

• Each player will have 2 darts per round

BUCKET BALL

Bucket Ball is played with large 5-gallon buckets set up like beer pong. Standing 10-paces away, participants try to toss a softball into the buckets.

Scoring / Game Play:

• Played just like beer pong.

• Partners stand on the same side of the field and throw one ball at a time.

• Only one foot needs to be behind the closest bucket

• If a ball is made, that bucket is immediately removed.

• Two balls in a single bucket is not a victory and the team does not get to shoot again (they should have waited).

• If a team makes both their shots, they got both balls back and may shoot again.

• One re-rack per game and can be taken at any time in any configuration.

• FINISH: When a team makes the last bucket the other team regardless of the number of buckets left has a chance to shoot.

• FINISH: If 2 or more buckets are left and the team that is shooting misses a bucket, the game is over.

• FINISH: In other words, if two buckets are left and player-1 shoots and makes one, but player-2 misses, player-1 doesn’t continue to shoot. FREDONIA RULES!

• OVERTIME: If the teams clear the board and there is a tie, a single bucket is to be placed at the tip and players shoot. Each team shoots two balls. The most balls in wins. If a team sinks 2 balls in overtime they do not shoot again. If both teams sink the same number of balls, overtime is repeated until there is a winner.

​
