Target rings placed roughly 30-35ft (9-11m) apart.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Set up two target rings on the grass a set distance apart from one another.

2

Players or teams take turns underhand-tossing their darts in an arc toward the opposite ring.

3

A dart that lands within the target ring scores points, with a dart closest to or inside the ring's center scoring more.

4

After all darts are thrown from one side, players walk to the opposite ring and measure or estimate distances to score the round.

5

Only the closest dart per team typically scores if both teams land darts in the same ring, canceling out equal distances.

6

Players alternate throwing ends each round, and the first team to reach an agreed point total, such as fifteen, wins.
