coin toss will be considered Player A and chooses side and
bag color. Player B will have choice of side and throw first in
game 2. Game three, Player A will throw first and have choice
of side. Players will compete with the same color bags for
the entire 3 games.
4. Single elimination is planned.
5. The tournament director reserves the right to change the
format based on total number of athletes in a division.
SPORT RULES
1. All matches will be conducted in accordance with United Bag
Toss League (UBTL) rules, except as modified herein.
2. Boards shall be 24” x 48”. The hole shall be 6” in diameter,
centered 9” from the top of the board and 12” from each side
edge. The front of the board is 3” – 4” from bottom to top.
The back of the board is 12” from bottom to top. The angle
of the back legs to the board should be approximately 109
degrees. The playing surface should be finish-sanded to a
smooth texture. There should be no blemishes in the surface
that might disrupt or distort play. The playing surface can be
painted with a high gloss latex paint or varnish. The surface
should allow bags to slide when thrown, but no so slippery that
bags slide back down the platform. There shall be 8 bags; 4
each of two different colors. The bags shall be 6” x 6” square
and weigh 1 pound each and the preferred (not required) filling
is corn. A canvas like durable material is recommended.
3. For men 70+ and all women, the boards shall be measured
to be 20’ apart (front of board to front of board). For men 50
– 69, the boards shall be measured to be 24’ apart (front of
board to front of board).
4. 1 point shall be awarded per bag on the board. 3 points
for every bag that is thrown or knocked into the hole. Bag
cancellation method will apply. For example, if both players
have 1 bag each in the hole, zero points are awarded. If one
player has 1 bag in the hole and the other player has 1 bag
on the board, 2 points will be awarded.
5. A bag that comes into contact with the ground before the
board is not a legal throw and will be removed from play and
point consideration. A bag that is touching the ground while
also sitting on the board will also be removed from play and
point consideration. A bag must completely clear the hole to
be in the hole. A bag hanging partially in the hole is a bag on
board, not in the hole.
6. All bags are scored depending on where they are after all 8
bags have been thrown. Sometimes, the bags are pushed
off the boards or slide into the hole after they are thrown.
Scoring is calculated on the final spot of the bags whether it
be on the board or in the hole.
7. The line extending parallel to the front of the board is
considered the foul line.
8. The following actions shall be considered fouls:
9. Thrower stepping over the foul line.
10. Thrower throws out of turn.
11, When alternating turns, a player tosses his/her bag before
the previously thrown bag comes to rest on the board.
12: The following penalties shall be assessed for fouls.
• One foul: warning and opponent chooses to have a rethrow
or not.
• Subsequent fouls after warning: Loss of turn, bag is
removed from that frame’s scoring.
