Abstract
A tethered ring game and kit is disclosed comprising a tethered ring, means of attaching the tether to an overhead surface, and a novel bottle support apparatus configured and designed to hold and constrain an ordinary bottle in a substantially upright position. The bottle holder apparatus is fixated on a wall, post, or structure such that when a bottle is inserted and constrained, it is used in an eye-hand coordination game of chance involving a tethered ring and a bottle as the target. In practice, a ring, which is tethered and hanging from above in a position equidistant between the player and a bottle, is swung in a pendulum movement toward the bottle, which is constrained by the apparatus, in an endeavor to capture the ring over the top or neck of the bottle.
