How to Play
GAMEPLAY / RULES
-
Measuring from the front of the boards, place 20 feet apart.
-
Play with either, 2 players (1 vs 1) or 4 players (2 teams of 2).
-
If 4 players, Line-up opposite of partner (similar to bean bag toss).
-
Each player will sauce all 4 pucks in a row during their respective turn.
-
The round is complete after all players have completed their turn.
-
After a sauce, the puck should be cleared off the board, as to not interfere with the next sauce.
-
Team that scored the most points on their previous turn will start the next round.
SCORING
-
Points are scored when a player sauces a puck into the nets.
Just like the game of hockey, pucks do not need to stay in the net to be counted as a goal. Example: if the puck crosses the goal line or hits the net and bounces out it’s a good goal.
A puck in the big, white net = 1 point
A puck in the small, black net = 3 points -
Points are added consecutively regardless of the opposing teams score on a given round (unlike bean bag toss which uses cancellation scoring).
-
The game is over when one team reaches (or exceeds) 21 points at the completion of a round. A game can never end in the middle of a round. For example: if the team saucing first reaches or exceeds 21 points, the game can not end until the other side sauces all their pucks, then the round is complete.
PLAYING DEFENSE
-
The opposing player may play defense, only if the puck does not land directly on the board. Example: the puck bounces, skips, or rolls from the ground onto the board.
-
If the puck is sauced from one board and lands directly onto the other board, there can be no interference with the puck. If the defender interferes with a puck landing directly on the board (clean sauce), it results in 3 points for the saucing team.
