**IMPORTANT RULES:

• The team listed on top in the tournament bracket shall begin play first.
• Each player throws all four bags by alternating tosses with the opposing player.
• The round is complete after all eight bags are tossed.

 The points are awarded as follows:

• 3 points for each bag made in the hole. 1 point for each bag made on the board. A bag must go completely in the hole to count for 3 points. Any bag(s) that is partially in the hole and partially on the board counts as 1 point.
• The score for each round is determined by each team combining their points for all bags in the hole with all bags on the board. The team with the higher total subtracts the opposing team’s points and earns the points of the difference between the two totals. The team with the lower total does not earn any points for the round.
• The team that scores more points for the round goes first in the next round. If there is a tie, the team that went first in the previous round shall go first in the next round.

The winner is declared once a team reaches or exceeds 21 points after the completion of a round.
