FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a football-based bean bag tossing game showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a left side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a rear elevational view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a right side elevational view thereof; and,

FIG. 6 is a top plan view thereof, similar to FIG. 1 and executed in color.

The broken lines in the drawing illustrate environment and forms no part of the claimed design.

Nature and intended use of the article in which the design is embodied: This design is intended to be used as a playing surface for a bean bag tossing game. Bean bag tossing games such as ‘cornhole’ have been in use for many years and are popular at football game ‘tail-gating’ parties. However, the traditional cornhole game has but one opening, limiting options in play; scoring is also elementary. The traditional game has no connection to the game of football itself. Design presented herein is a playing surface for a football-based bean bag tossing game.

Claims

An ornamental design for a football-based bean bag tossing game, as shown and described.
