SquareThrowing Game

Abstract

A tossing game played with flattened square or rectangular shaped discs that are preferably nine (9) inches square and contain an optional circular cutout with a four and a quarter (4.25) inch diameter in the approximate center of the flying square. The discs or flying squares are thrown at a free-standing goal with an open end and a backboard or lid. The game is played by teams that position themselves away from one of the free-standing goals and throwing the flying squares at into the goals. Different amounts of points are scored depending on whether the square makes it completely into the goal. Other players can displace a square reducing the points scored by a previous toss. Typically the team that scores the most points or the first team to reach a particular score wins the game.

I claim: 
     
         1 . Equipment for a tossing game comprising a flattened disc in the shape of a polyhedron with a hole traversing the disc from a first outer surface of the disc to a second outer surface of the disc. 
     
     
         2 . The equipment of  claim 1  in which the polyhedron is a quadrilateral. 
     
     
         3 . The equipment of  claim 1  in which the polyhedron is a square. 
     
     
         4 . The equipment of  claim 3  in which the hole is located in the approximate geometric center of the polyhedron. 
     
     
         5 . The equipment of  claim 4  in which the hole has a diameter of approximately 4.25 inches. 
     
     
         6 . The equipment of  claim 5  wherein the hole is circular. 
     
     
         7 . The equipment of  claim 6  wherein the disc is shaped like a square with sides measuring approximately 9 inches. 
     
     
         8 . The equipment of  claim 7  further comprising a goal having a base and a backboard. 
     
     
         9 . A game assembly for a tossing game comprising:
 a square throwing disc with a circular hole integrated therein and   a target having a base, an open end, a closed end and a backboard located adjacent to the open end.   
     
     
         10 . The game assembly of  claim 9  wherein the hole in the throwing disc is a circle approximately 4.25 inches in diameter. 
     
     
         11 . The game assembly of  claim 10  wherein the center of the hole is in the approximate geometric center of the throwing disc. 
     
     
         12 . The game assembly of  claim 11  wherein the throwing disc is a flattened structure with a width between 0.125 and 0.25 thick. 
     
     
         13 . A game piece for a tossing game comprising a flattened disc in the shape of a quadrilateral with a hole in the center traversing a first side of the flattened disc and a second side of the flattened disc. 
     
     
         14 . The game piece of  claim 13  wherein the flattened disc is in the shape of a square. 
     
     
         15 . The game piece of  claim 13  wherein the flattened disc is in the shape of a rectangle.
