Canz

My invention is a game called Canz that youth play as a hobby. Canz is a two player game that requires a ball and can be played with one or two condensed cans. The two condensed cans are placed ten feet apart from one another on the sidewalk. Each player stands behind their can and take turns throwing the ball at their opponent condensed can. The condensed can must be placed in the appropriate spot on the line before a shot attempt is taken. Players may move further back to increase their point value. The line where each player can is placed represents ten points and each line after that represents increments of ten points. The first player to 100 points total is declared the winner.
