  • Patent number: 4204682
    Abstract: A method of playing a game has a plurality of groups of distinguishably identified markers which are tossed from behind a throwing line at a receptacle in an attempt to put the marker in the receptacle. The receptacle is recessed into the ground or other playing surface and is approximately thirty feet to fifty feet away from the throwing line, which may be another receptacle. A protective cover may be provided to enclose the receptacle when not in use to avoid any accidents or the accumulation of contamination therein. The marker may be shaped as a disc or washer and may be sufficiently heavy to be substantially unaffected by all but the strongest wind during play.The game is played by the method of choosing teams, distributing the markers amongst each team, and then alternately tossing the markers from behind the throwing line at the receptacle until all of the markers have been thrown.
