Abstract

A flying object water game by which an object is thrown or tossed at a framework on which water emitting targets reside. A target framework includes one or more detachable water emitting targets. A first team defends the framework while a second team throws or tosses, from a predetermined distance, a flying object at the target framework and associated water emitting targets with the objective to hit and detach one or more targets from the framework.

Claims (30)

1. A method for playing a game wherein the game is intended to be played by a first team and a second team, the method comprising:

establishing a field of play;

placing a target framework within the field of play;

positioning the first team within the field of play and proximate with the target framework;

locating the second team outside the field of play;

detachably interlocking at least one target with the target framework;

tossing a flying object by the second team towards the target framework and the at least one target;

responsive to dislodging the at least one target from the target framework by the flying object assessing a first score to the second team;

responsive to catching the dislodged target assessing a second score to the first team; and

responsive to the flying object missing the target framework and catching the flying object by the first team, assessing a third score to the first team.

2. The method for playing the game according to claim 1 , wherein the target framework includes a base, a vertical support structure connected to the base and a horizontal structure coupled to the vertical structure apart from the base.

3. The method for playing the game according to claim 1 , wherein establishing the field of play includes positioning a plurality of modular segments to create a boundary circumscribing the target framework.

4. The method for playing the game according to claim 1 , wherein interlocking includes dangling the at least one target from the target framework.

5. The method for playing the game according to claim 1 wherein the flying object is a flying disk.

6. The method for playing the game according to claim 1 , further comprising responsive to striking the target framework by the flying object, launching the at least one target away from the target framework.

7. A gaming apparatus, the apparatus comprising:

a boundary establishing a field of play;

a target framework placed within the field of play;

a first team positioned within the field of play and proximate with the target framework;

a second team located outside the field of play;

at least one target configured to detachably interlock with the target framework; and

a flying object configured to be tossed by the second team towards the target framework and the at least one target, wherein responsive to dislodging the at least one target from the target framework by the flying object assessing a first score to the second team, responsive to catching the dislodged target assessing a second score to the first team, and responsive to the flying object missing the target framework and catching the flying object by the first team, assessing a third score to the first team.

8. The gaming apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the target framework includes a base, a vertical support structure connected to the base and a horizontal structure coupled to the vertical structure apart from the base.

9. The gaming apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the boundary includes positioning a plurality of modular segments circumscribing the target framework.

10. The gaming apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one target is configured to dangle from the target framework.

11. The gaming apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the flying object is a flying disk.

12. The gaming apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one target is suspended from the at least one target framework by a flexible conduit.

13. The gaming apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the target framework is configured to couple with an additional target framework.

14. The gaming apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the flying object is a detached target.

15. The gaming apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the field of play is an area proximate to the at least one target framework within which the first team must stand.
