4. THE GAME
• Players take turns bouncing or throwing 3 tennis balls in succession to land the
balls in the various scoring zones
• Scoring:
• A ball through the top bucket of the tower that does not bounce out of the tower
is worth 5 points
• A ball through the legs of the top bucket that does not bounce out of the tower is
worth 10 points
• Utilizing the wall and/or bouncing a ball is a multiplier on points (standard point
amount x2 for each)
• Example: a ball bounced off the ground that then bounces off of one of the walls
and into the top bucket is worth 5 x 2 x 2 = 20 points
• First to 200 (or greater) wins!
