• Games go to 21 (First to 21, you do NOT have to win by 2, and you do NOT have to land exactly on 21)
• Points cancel each round (only one team scores per round)
• A round ends after all 6 washers have been thrown.
• Washers outside the box do not count for any points.
• In the box =2 points
• In the pipe =3 points
• “Pipe Rules” Means a pipe cancels opponents boxes.  Please see scoring examples below to understand this rule.
• A washer that remains on the ledge of the box after all 6 washers have been thrown shall be treated as if it is in the box and is worth 2 points
• Overhand throws ARE   .
• Points are tallied after all 6 washers have been thrown and come to rest

Scenario 1: Red has 1 in the Pipe, 0 in the box —- White has 3 in the box = 3 points red
Scenario 2: Red has 1 in the Pipe, 2 in the box —–White has 1 in the box = 5 points Red
