Ring Toss

Rules

1. Each team will choose a team member (the player), who will have 4 official tosses per round.

2. The same player must toss the rings for all rounds.

3. Once the player selects a distance and tosses the first ring, all other rings must be tossed from that same distance for that round. Adjustments may be made between rounds.

4. The player achieves team points according to the payoff schedule (see below).

5. The player must toss the rings with his/her toes behind the distance line.

6. The playing field cannot be changed.

7. Time limits may be imposed by the instructor and must be strictly adhered to or loss of points may result.

Process

A. Preparation and practice (5 minutes): Teams will come up with a team name to be used throughout this activity. During this time, each team may have 8 practice tosses. Rings may be tossed from any distance during practice.

B. Round 1: Teams will take their turn in an order determined by number draw.

C. Caucus (5 minutes): Each team may hold a brief team meeting to reorganize strategy (although the same player must toss the rings each round).

D. Round 2: Teams will take their turn in the same order as in round 1.
