GAMEPLAY:
- A coin flip will determine which teams goes first.
- A player tosses the throwing pin to try and knock over skittles.
- Teams will alternate tosses with players from each team alternating turns - Team A Player 1, Team B Player 1, Team A Player 2, Team B Player 2, Team A Player 1 and so on
- All tosses must be made UNDERHAND, but you can hold the throwing pin however they wish, as long as their toss is underhand
- If the toss knocks over 1 skittle, the team will be awarded the number of points on that skittle
- If the toss knocks over 2 or more skittles, the team is awarded the total number of skittles knocked over
- To score points, the skittle must have completely fallen on the ground. Leaning over other skittles or the throwing pin is not counted as a knocked off skittle.
- 12 points is the maximum score per throw. This is achieved by knocking over all 12 skittles, or just the skittle with the number 12 on it
- After each throw, the leaning and fallen skittles are stood up in the exact spot that they have ended up in.
- The game ends when a team scores exactly 50 points
- If a team scores more than 50 points, their score is reduced to 25 and the game continues
- DQ RULE - a team must knock over at least 1 skittle in 4 turns - If a team does not knock over a skittle in 4 consecutive throws, they are eliminated and the game is over. Once a skittle is knocked over, the miss count resets.
