UNY CO****LE LEAGUE RULES Everyone has their own, unique way of playing co****le. Read below to learn UNY Co****le’s rules! Our first and most important rule is to have fun! Like all recreational sports, everyone comes out for a good time, so please exercise sportsmanship! The Game: A game is made up of frames wherein each team rotates tossing their team's 4 bags until all bags (8) have been tossed towards the opposite board. At the conclusion of each frame, the score is calculated and added to the team's net total. A winner is determined when a team reaches or surpasses 21 at the conclusion of a frame. Number of frames played varies per match. Set-Up: Each court consists of two boards spaced 27 feet apart front-to-front and two sets of 4 bags. Boards will be measured by the league president prior to the first scheduled game time. All boards are provided by UNY Co****le, players may use their own bags, must be of regulation size and weight. Schedules and Game Time: The schedule for each week is posted on the UNY Co****le page. Each match consists of three games with the winner taking 2 out of 3 games. Scoring: The object is to be the first team to reach or surpass 21 points. Points are scored by landing a tossed bag on the board (1 point) and by having a tossed bag drop into the hole (3 points). Once all eight bags have been tossed, players calculate the points scored per team. The team with the higher number of points is award the point difference. If a team is winning 13-0, it is considered a skunk and the leading team wins the game. Example: "Team A" scores 8 points in frame 1, and "Team B" scores 2 points in frame 1. "Team B"'s 2 points are subtracted from "Team A"'s 8 points awarding 6 points to "Team A"'s net total. Scoring Discrepancies: All scoring discrepancies need to be taken to the league president immediately. The league president will make the final ruling on all discrepancies. Please remember, we are out here to have fun! At the end of the day, it is just co****le with friends! Beginning a Match: The captains begin the match with a coin flip or playing rock, paper, scissors. The winner determines the end from which play will begin, chooses the side they will throw from, and gets the first throw. Tossing: After the first frame (See Beginning a Match), the team that scores the most points per frame tosses first in the next frame. If no points are scored, the last team to score points in a frame tosses first. Knocking Opponents Bags Off Boards: This is a risky strategy some players like to use. It is fair game. Violations Resulting in Bag Being Removed from Board: Bags may be removed from board if the player crosses the foul line before releasing the bag, the bag hits the ground and bounces onto the board, or the bag strikes an object such as a tree limb, indoor ceiling, person, etc. Winning: The first team to reach a minimum of 21 points at the end of a frame wins the game. Skunk: If a team is winning 13-0, it is considered a skunk and the leading team wins the game. Playing Court: Players may stand anywhere to the left or right of the board but must stay on that side for the entire match. Court area is anywhere behind the front of the board. Teammates stand at opposite boards but must play on the same side. Foul Line: The foul line is located at the front of the board. All players must toss from behind the foul line. If a player crosses the foul line on his or her toss, that toss does not count, and they cannot toss that bag again. Player Requirements and Substitutions: A team consists of 4 players (2 sets of 2 players). Each week both sets of players will play against both sets of the other team. A minimum of 4 players per team must be present to play. You may substitute players at the beginning of a match (if there is an injury during a match, the team captains may decide to allow a substitute during a match). Forfeits: A team will forfeit their match if they do not have four players available to play within 30 minutes of their scheduled playing time (unless otherwise agreed upon by team captains). "No-Shows"/24 hour notice: A “no-show” is when you do not provide 24 hour notice that you will not make your match or do not show for your match; it will be recorded as a forfeit. If a team "no-shows"/forfeits twice in one season, they will forfeit their registration and the remainder of the season. Team Rankings: Rankings are calculated based on the total overall match wins. A win receives 1 point and a loss receives 0 points. The winner of the match will always receive a minimum of 2 points while the loser will receive either 0 or 1 point. Year-End Prizes: Top three teams guaranteed cash prize TBD.
