         22 . The system of  claim 21  the top further comprising
 the top including two spaced-apart side members and a bottom member, 
 wherein the two side members and the bottom member define the open area. 
 
     
     
         23 . The system of  claim 21  the top further comprising
 the top including two spaced-apart side members, an upper member, and a lower member, 
 wherein the two side members, the upper member and the lower member define the open area. 
 
     
     
         24 . The system of  claim 21  further comprising
 the top comprising a first top side and a second top side, 
 the first top side including a first side member, 
 the second top side including a second side member, 
 the first side member engaging the first base side, and 
 the second side member engaging the second base side. 
 
     
     
         25 . The system of  claim 21  further comprising
 at least one item formed of a piece removed from the box, the at least one item sized for passage through the open area. 
 
     
     
         26 . The system of  claim 25  wherein the at least one item is a plurality of items. 
     
     
         27 . The system of  claim 26  wherein the plurality of items comprises a plurality of sets of items, each set having its own distinctive marking to identify each item of the set as a part of the set. 
     
     
         28 . The system of  claim 27  further comprising
 a panel formed of the box for noting scores associated with each item that has passed through the open area. 
 
     
     
         29 . The system of  claim 28  wherein the panel has panel marking corresponding to the distinctive marking of each set of items. 
     
     
         30 . The system of  claim 21  wherein the top is not parallel to the base so that the open area is at an angle to the base and positioned for the passage of an item through the open area down onto the base. 
     
     
         31 . The system of  claim 21  wherein the top is parallel to the base so that the open area is parallel to the base and is positioned for the passage of an item through the open area down into the base. 
     
     
         32 . The system of  claim 21  further comprising
 the base having a base hole therethrough, the base hole positioned so that an item is passable through the open area and then through the base hole to exit the box. 
 
     
     
         33 . The system of  claim 21  further comprising
 the top of the box at a non-parallel angle to the base of the box, 
 a stabilizing member engaging the base of the box and the top of the box. 
 
     
     
         34 . The system of  claim 33  wherein the stabilizing member is made from the box. 
     
     
         35 . The system of  claim 21  wherein the open area comprises a plurality of openings. 
     
     
         36 . The system of  claim 21  further comprising
 the open area including a first opening and a second opening, 
 the base having a base hole therethrough, the base hole positioned so that an item is passable through the first opening and then through the base hole to exit the box. 
 
     
     
         37 . The system of  claim 21  wherein the box is a pizza box. 
     
     
         38 . The system of  claim 21  wherein the top is connected to the base and selectively positionable with respect to the base. 
     
     
         39 . A system for playing a finger ball game, the system comprising
 a box, the box having
 a base 
 a first base side and a second base side, 
 a front, 
 a rear, 
 a top, and 
 an open area formed by removing a removable piece from the top, 
   the top positioned with the open area positioned for the passage of an item through the open area onto the base,   the top comprising a first top side and a second top side,
 the first top side including a first side member, 
 the second top side including a second side member, 
 the first side member engaging the first base side, and 
 the second side member engaging the second base side, 
   wherein the top is positioned with respect to the base in one of a first position and a second position,   the first position not parallel to the base so that the open area is at an angle to the base and positioned for the passage of an item through the open area down onto the base, and   the second position parallel to the base so that the open area is parallel to the base and is positioned for the passage of an item through the open area down into the base.   
     
     
         40 . The system of  claim 39  wherein the box is a pizza box.
