• Instructions
Set-up: Unfold Gameboards (see opposite side for Gameboard
Setup), take the Official distance rope and attach it onto the
hook under the front leg of each gameboard. Move the
gameboards so that the rope is in a straight line and both
boards are facing each other(see diagram). This ensures the
gameboards are at the correct distance from one another.
Gameplay: Chuck-O may be played with either two players or
four players divided into two teams. Players or teams pick a
color of bean bag and use that color throughout the game. A
game consists of a series of rounds.
One round consists of all eight bean bags being tossed at the
opposite board. During each round, players may toss the bean
bag from either the left or right toss box, but all bags must be
tossed from the same box. A toss box is the area on either side
of the board opposite where the players are tossing at (see
diagram). A player can never cross the front line of the toss
box (the same line as the front of the board) or the bag is a
scratch.
Two Players: Players compete against each other. Both
players toss from the toss box towards the same board. For
the next round, both players walk to the opposite board and
toss back at the previous board. A round is not finished until
all eight bean bags have been tossed. The player who scored
points in the previous round, tosses first in the next round. If
neither player scores points, the player who tossed second in
the previous round tosses first in the next round (see Points
and Scoring).
Four Players: One member of each team tosses from the toss
box at the opposite board. The other members then toss from
the other toss box back at the first board. The team, who

scored points in the previous round tosses first in the next
round. If nobody scores points, team who tossed second(last) in
the previous round tosses first in the next round (see Points
and Scoring).
Points and Scoring:
Chuck-O — 3 points — A Chuck-O is a bean bag that is tossed
through the hole in the board or is knocked in by your own or
another player’s bean bag. The entire bag must pass through
the hole. A Chuck-O earns a player or team three points.
On the Board — 1 point — A bean bag that is not
a Chuck-O but lands with the bag resting on the gameboard
earns one point. The bag cannot be touching the ground.
Scratch — A bean bag which lands anywhere except on the board
or in the hole is a scratch and scores no points. Any bean bag that
bounces up onto the board, touches the ground, or hits any object
in flight is a scratch. A scratch bean bag has no point value(no
matter where it lands) and it must be removed(if it is on the
gameboard) before the game can continue.
Scoring — The game score is tallied at the end
of every round. A round consists of two players completing the
tossing of each of their four bean bags. Players or teams only
score the difference between the highest and lowest player’s
score.
For example, if Player A got one Chuck-O and two On the Board
for five points and Player B got only two On the Board for two
points, then Player A would score three points (5 - 2 = 3). The
first player or team to have 21 points at the end of a round
wins. In the event of a tie, additional rounds are played until
one player or team has a higher score than the other at the end
of a round.
Safety Precautions:
Chuck-O gameboards are very heavy. Please make sure not to drop them
while setting them up as it may cause injury and damage the boards. Make
sure the board, if stood up vertically, will not tip and fall. Never sit, stand or
put any heavy object on the gameboards as it may damage the support leg.
