Throwing: |
Team B scores 3 points for landing inside the ring. Team A did not land inside the ring.
NOTE: A Jart is considered inside the ring if any part of the tip is inside the ring.
Gameplay:
The game consists of rounds. During each round, one player from each team stands in the “Toss Area” ( see diagram above ) and alternates tossing their 2 Jarts at the target ring across from them. A player can stand behind or on either side of the ring, but may never cross in front. Pick a team to go first. The team that scored the most in the last round tosses first in the next round.
Scoring:
Quick Play Scoring
First team to 21 points wins.
After all 4 Jarts are thrown score as follows:
1 Point - Scored for the Jart closest to the ring (see fig. 1) 3 Points - Scored for each Jart inside the ring (see fig. 2)
Classic Scoring
First team to 21 points wins. Only one team can score per round. The team with the most points scores the difference between the two teams points.

Tournament Scoring
All scoring is the same as Classic Scoring, but a team must score exactly 21 points to win. If a team exceeds 21 points for the round, their score is deducted, not added. Play continues until exactly 21 points are scored.
Hold the Jart by the handle behind the fins. Toss it with an underhand motion with enough arc so that it will land in or near the ring.
Safe Play Guidelines:
Jarts can be played outside safely. Be aware of your play area. Never throw Jarts at people or pets, and make sure the play area is clear before you throw. Do not throw Jarts
