RULES
Tournament Rules
Tournament will be played as a double elimination. If your team loses twice, you are out of the tournament.

Rules Of Play
Midway Baggo rules are a bit different than "official" baggo rules that you find on the board.
• A bag in the hole is a "Baggo" or 3 points.
• A bag that lands on the board but does not go in the hole is 1 point.
• A bag toss of equal value thrown against an opponent cancels out the opponents' points. If player Z puts a bag in the hole for 3 points, and player X puts a bag on the board for 1 point. Player Z would end up with 2 points.
• Each team plays with 4 bags. Teammates play on opposite boards.
• Opponents alternate tossing their bags until all 8 bags are played.
• Round is than scored (See Scoring).
• Repeat play from the other board.
• The scoring team has the honor of tossing first in the next round.
• A bag that lands on the board but does not go in the hole is 1 point.

Scoring
• A Round = 8 bags ( 4 bags per team).•
• A Game = 21 points.
• Winning team must hit 21 on the nose.
• If a team goes over 21 for the first time, they will go down to 15, second time, down to 17, third time and there after 19.
• Once a team goes OVER 21 (even in the middle of round) the board is wiped clean of all bags. The scoring continues for that round on the next bag to be thrown.
• If a team reaches 21, the opponent will continue to throw it's remaining bags, until either, A: they take points away or B: they run out of bags. If they run out of bags without scoring (taking points away) the game is over. If they do score, the other team continues with their next bag.
• Any bag thrown with a foot foul = 0 points.
• As of 2019 there are no skunks. Play the game through.
• A Game = 21 points.
• Winning team must hit 21 on the nose.

Any out of order, or mis-throw, or picking up the bags from the board before the round is over is the discretion of the opposite team to add a point to that round. This is the drunken rule.
Any bag hitting the ground first before hitting the board is a dead bag = 0 points. This isn't horse shoes!
