  • Patent number: 5286034
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for playing a game in which players throw discs made of a rubber composite material to oppositely placed boards with goal cups in the center. The goal cups are large enough to allow the entrance of the discs. At the bottom and center of each goal cup, a round protrusion allows the disc, once situated inside the goal cup, to be pressed at it's outer parameter, permitting the disc to be flipped up to facilitate grasping and removing. The game can be played by individuals or teams competing against each other in accordance with the rules of the game. The game is portable and safe, and can be played inside or outside without assembly.
