YOU ARE NOW READY TO PLAY!
Ages 8+
Game:
A regulation ladderball game is 21 points or nine rounds, whichever comes first. One round consists of
both players tossing their four bolas in an alternating pattern. You must win by two or more points. If the
game is tied after nine rounds, additional rounds are played to determine a winner. The winner of each
round shoots first in the next round. Players alternate tossing bolas until all tosses have been played.
Key Points:
1. The most effective way to toss your bolo is to place the lanyard between your middle and forefinger
with the golf ball laying in between your fingers. A gentle underhand toss and release motion will give
you the best chance of attaching the bolo to the target.
2. Players alternate tosses until all bolas have been played.
OFFICIAL RULES
Two Player Play:
Players stand at opposite targets and toss in alternating turns. After player #1 tosses their first bolo at
the target, player #2 would then toss one of their bolas at the target. After both players have tossed all
of their bolas, the round is over and a score should be calculated (see “scoring”). Both players can
score points in the same round, if their tossed bolas earned points. The player that scores the highest
points tosses first in the next round. If no points were scored in the round, the player who tossed first
in the previous round would continue to toss first.
Team Play:
Two teams of 2 players each should be determined. Players on each team should stand at opposite
targets. Players toss in alternating turns. After player #1 from team A tosses one of their bolas at the
target, player #1 from team B would then toss one of their bolas at the target. This alternating playing
method should continue for all players until all tosses have been played. After all bolas have been
played, the round is over and a score should be calculated (see “scoring”). Both teams can score
points in the same round, if their tossed bolas earned points. The team that scored the highest points
in the round tosses first in the next round. If no points were scored in the round, the team who tossed
first in the previous round would toss first.
Scoring:
1 Points: A bolo that lands on the top bar scores 1 point.
2 Points: A bolo that lands on the middle bar scores 2 points.
3 Point: A bolo that lands on the bottom bar scores 3 point.
Note:
1. Injury to yourself or others may occur if bolas are used improperly. Please see proper tossing
technique in “key points”, #1.
2. Do not attempt to wrap bolas around body parts.
3. Adult supervision is recommended for younger players.
4. The ladderball target is designed for normal game play, see official rules. Misuse of the ladderball
target may result in personal injury and/or damage to the target. Do not sit or stand on the
ladderball target.

COURT LAYOUT & GAME INSTRUCTIONS
Getting Started:
The game is started by selecting which player will go first. This is done by one player flipping a coin in
the air and the opposing player guessing which side will land face up, heads or tails. If the opposing
player guesses correctly, they can choose to go first or last. Players ages 13+ should stand 25ft
(7.62m) from the target. The distance can be shortened if space is limited. Players ages 8-12 should
stand 15ft (4.57m) from the target.
