| 20140049007 | RING TOSS GAME AND SYSTEM INCLUDING PIERCED RING - A highly-portable and stylized ring toss game which includes a pierced ring. The piercing in the ring allows a string to be threaded directly through the ring, thereby removing the need to tie a string to the ring and removing the element of string tension from the game, thus allowing for more creative tricks and more uniform gameplay. The ring is suspended from the string a distance away from a backboard with a hook. The ring is tossed along a path toward the backboard with the intent of hooking the ring onto the hook.

There are sights between the targets on the target plate. By swinging the tethered ball with the tether aligned with a sight, the player can align the ball to be received by a target. Baskets in the targets catch the ball, so the ball can be easily removed from the target. Electronic play instructions, electronically directed game play, electronic scorekeeping means, and electronically directed alternative player goals are provided. | 05-26-2011 |
