Abstract

A tossing game includes placing two floating goals spaced apart in a body of water, each goal defining a scoring region. The participants add an amount of water to cups and toss the cups in the direction of one of the goals for at least two turns, with the participants awarded points in response to the cups being tossed into the scoring region. Each filling of the cup during a participant's turn adds variability to the game, challenging the participants to determine a suitable amount of water to be placed in the cup for their own throwing technique as well as to repeatedly add approximately the same amount of water on subsequent turns once the participants have determined the fill level that best suits them.
