Abstract
Abstract A game apparatus and method for playing a tossing game. The apparatus includes a plurality of cup members which may be recessed into the ground and a plurality of pucks which may be tossed towards the cup members. The game is played by placing two cup members into the ground at a predetermined distance apart. Opposing players alternately toss the pucks toward one of the cup members from behind the other cup member. Scoring values are assigned for pucks landing in the cup members, overhanging the cup members, or landing a distance from the cup members defined by a diameter of the puck.
