Sport Rules:

1. For men 70+ and all women, the boards shall be measured to be 20’ apart (front of board to front of board). For men 50 – 69, the boards shall be measured to be 24’ apart (front of board to front of board).
2. 1 point shall be awarded per bag on the board. 3 points for every bag that is thrown or knocked into the hole. 
3. A bag that comes into contact with the ground before the board is not a legal throw and will be removed from play and point consideration. A bag that is touching the ground while also sitting on the board will also be removed from play and point consideration. A bag must completely clear the hole to be in the hole. A bag hanging partially in the hole is a bag on board, not in the hole.
4. All bags are scored depending on where they are after all 8 bags have been thrown. Sometimes, the bags are pushed off the boards or slide into the hole after they are thrown. Scoring is calculated on the final spot of the bags whether it be on the board or in the hole.
5. The line extending parallel to the front of the board is considered the foul line. The following actions shall be considered fouls
   1. Thrower stepping on or over the foul line.
   2. Thrower throws out of turn
   3. When alternating turns, a player tosses his/her bag before the previously thrown bag comes to rest on the board.

6. The following penalties shall be assessed for fouls:

• One foul: verbal warning 
• Subsequent fouls after warning: Loss of turn, bag is removed from that frame’s scoring.

NOTE: Final rules will be posted at the event. Modifications may include drawing for by when there is an uneven number of players in an age group.
