Setup, scoring and the house rules — all on one page.
How far away do the rings go?
Place the target rings two target-ring lengths from the end of the ramp — about 4 feet from the end of the ramp to the back of the rings.
How is a round scored?
Each ball is worth 0 points outside the rings, 1 point in the largest ring, 2 in the middle ring and 3 in the smallest ring. Only one player earns points each round: subtract the lowest score from the highest, and the high scorer is awarded the difference.
Who rolls first?
Decide who goes first for the opening round. After that, the player who was awarded points in the previous round rolls first.
Does a ball count if it bounces in or out?
Yes — a ball can bounce, skip, or roll in or out of the target rings. All that matters is where it ends up at the end of the round.
What’s a “Dinger”?
If a ball hits the front of the ramp and stops without crossing the line, that ball can be picked up and re-rolled.
How do you win?
Keep playing rounds until one player reaches 21 points or higher. That player wins the game — and bragging rights for life.
