OFFICIAL BAGGO RULES
· In doubles, team partners face each other from opposite boards
· Each team plays with 4 bags
· Opponent’s alternate tosses until all 8 bags are thrown
· The round is then scored (See Scoring)
· The last team to score on previous round tosses first
· Toss again if any interference occurs
· Opponents may call Foot Foul and the call must be honored
· In singles or doubles, the losing team has choice of sides for next game
· BAGGO etiquette necessitates respect for your opponent. While an opponent is tossing refrain from talking and step back out of his/her view. Only one person or the referee (tournament play) should retrieve bags when the round is completed.
OFFICIAL BAGGO SCORING
· Winner is first team to score 21 points or more
· 3 points for each bag in the hole (That’s a BAGGO!)
· 1 point for each bag on the board is an Ace
· Score is the difference in the team totals
· For example:
- After 1 round of 8 bags played,
- #1 team with 1 bag in the hole = 3 points
- #2 team with 2 bags on the board = 2 points
- Score for the 1st round for #1 team = 1 point
- Bags pushed in by an opponent’s toss count as a BAGGO
- The game is over if the score reaches 11 to Zero (SKUNK)
- If a bag ever touches the ground or is tossed out of turn, it doesn’t count
· Follow these steps to easily calculate the score:
- Take away or remove “offsetting or canceling” bags from the board. The net “board” bag or bags are positioned at the bottom of the board.
- Retrieve the BAGGO, or hole bags, and discard offsetting/canceling bags to the side. The “net” BAGGO, or 3 point bag or bags, are positioned over the hole.
- The team net round score is calculated by subtracting or adding the points from the board bags and the hole bags.
