1. Get Ready!
 Gather one other player or three other players and create two teams.
 Select an open area without overhead objects, such as clotheslines or
trees, and about 10 feet wide and 50 feet long.
 Stretch to warm up your muscles.
2. Get Set!
 Place the two target rings about 35 feet apart. The distance between
target rings may be decreased for younger players, or increased to
about 60 feet for a more challenging game, if space permits.
 Watch out for people and pets in the playing area. The players and
spectators not currently throwing a Lawn Dart are responsible for
watching to make sure that the game area is safe. They are responsible
for alerting both the throwing player of unsafe conditions, and any
nearby people or pets to stop and stay away from the path of the Lawn
Dart. It is the thrower’s responsibility to be watchful before swinging
and releasing the Lawn Dart.
 Practice throwing the Lawn Darts. To throw one, hold it from the top,
not the blunt tip, and toss underhand. See Figure N.
 EastPoint® Lawn Darts must land with the weighted tip inside the target
ring to count for a point. If the tip rests on top of the target ring for any
reason, more than half the tip must be inside the ring to count as a
point. See Figure O.
 Decide on game points before starting the game. Possible game points
include 3, 15, or 21 points.
 Flip a coin to determine the player or team who throws first to begin the
game.
3. Go Play!
 Keep score verbally.
 A point is scored when a Lawn Dart lands in the target ring. However,
if a player lands a Lawn Dart in the target ring, and then an opposing
player also lands a dart in the target ring, the scores cancel each other
out. For example, if Team A landed two Lawn Darts in the target ring
and Team B landed one Lawn Dart in the target ring, Team A would
score 1 point and Team B would score no points.
