Game Play.
• At the signal, teams work together to advance their balls toward the throwing line one vinyl ball at a time. Players can take
up to 3 steps before passing the ball to teammates.
• When a team gets the first ball to the throwing line, one team member throws the ball attempting to knock the bullseye
ball off the boulder.
• If the vinyl ball does not knock the bullseye ball off the boulder, it is out of play and no points are awarded for that ball.
• If a player knocks the bullseye ball off the boulder, the team receives a point and replaces it on the boulder.
• After throwing the first vinyl ball, the team advances the next ball from the starting line to the throwing line.
• Players can play defense and block passes by other teams. Players cannot steal balls from other teams or attempt to block
shots at the boulder.
• If a vinyl ball is knocked to the ground, the team returns to the starting line and begins advancing it again.
