Toss Line is 15 to 21 feet (5 to 7 paces) from the Target Center Line LADDER BALL WARNING Adult supervision is necessary whenever children are playing. Being hit by a thrown object can result in serious injury. OBJECT OF THE GAME SCORING Ladder Ball uses two Targets with two sets of three Bolas . The object is to toss a Bola at the Target and catch one of the 3 upper rungs on the Target ladder. Whoever reaches 21 points or more first wins the game. Each of the rungs on the target is a different color, and each color has it's own point value. The Blue rung is worth 3 points, the Yellow rung is worth 2 points, and the Red is worth 1 point. A bonus of 1 point can be scored by catching one rung with all three Bolas or by catching three different rungs with one Bola on each rung. Three Bolas catching the Blue rung earns 10 points, the Yellow rung 7 points and the Red rung 4 points. Catching all 3 rungs earns 7 points. GAME SET UP Arrange the playing area on a level surface as shown in the illustration above. Press the Ground Stakes firmly into the ground to secure the Target in place. For adults and older children, the Toss line should be located 15 to 21 feet (5 to 7 paces) from Target to Target. When smaller children are playing, adjust the distance accordingly. GAME PLAY Ladder Ball can be played two ways; with two players, or with two teams of two or three players. The game is played in rounds. A round is completed when all the Bolas have been tossed. Bolas are tossed underhand, with the palms up. There are two types of Bolas that each come in two colors; Soft Bolas (Blue and Yellow) and Golf Bolas (Blue and Red). Each player or team takes a turn tossing three Bolas of the same color. The opposing player or team then takes it's turn. In team play, each player takes a turn tossing one Bola until the team's three Bolas have been tossed. You can use a coin toss to choose which player or team starts first. When each round is completed, the players move to the second Target and switch tossing first. If a Bola is pushed off the Target ladder by another Bola, it earns 0 points. If a Bola catches the same rung as an opposing player's Bola, 0 points are earned for both players. Bolas earn points only after all Bolas have been tossed by each player or team in a round. If the player or team goes over 21 points, the player's or team's points do not count. They must wait until the next round to earn the points needed for exactly 21 points. If one player of team earns 21 points and is 10 or less points ahead of the opposing player or team, the opposing player or team must take its turn and finish the round. If there is a tie, the players or teams play overtime rounds until a player or team is 2 points ahead of the opposition when that round is completed. A round is not completed until all Bolas are tossed. The 2 point spread is not used during regular play. WINNING THE GAME The player or team to reach 21 points first and is 11 points or more ahead when all the Bolas have been tossed wins the game.
