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.
Gameboard Setup
Lay the gameboard on its side and open the leg. Gently tip the gameboard up and double check that the leg is firmly in place. See the diagram for how far apart to set them.You’re now ready for some serious Chuck-O action!
