Notes
Alternative Ways to Play Ring Toss
Teams should have different colored rings to differentiate between them for scoring. A player on team 1 throws all of his/her rings, then a player on team 2, uses his/her fings to throw at the stakes. After rings are thrown, points are calculated for each teams colored rin, and rings are collected for the next players in line
Scoring Ring Toss Games
Standard Rules to go by for a Classic Game of Ring Toss - (Adjust it according to your party's needs):
Rings count as 2 points for a full ring and 1 point for a ring that is leaning on touching the target
The first team to get to 21 points wins
Alternative ways to Score Ring Toss
This is another way I've heard you can score in ring toss
A full ring counts as 3 points
A double ringer - which is ringing the same stake twice counts as 6 points
No Ringers - the ring closest to the stake counts as one point. If the same team has 2 of the closest rings then they get 2 pointed
Expert Tips
I did learn that you don't want to stand too close with the spray paint. If you get too close the paint will run. Listen to the instructions on the paint can, not the image below. That picture was just a visual instruction. Stand back and let the paint mist do the work
Ideas For Night Time Candy Corn Ring Toss
When I was thinking this through, I didn't think about glow-in-the-dark paint for the cones. That would even be better. Maybe you can find some and kick it up a notch. Even without the glow-in-the-dark paint, it's a ton of fun.
We had this near a backyard fire which shed some light on our targets. Just be sure you have a little light so you can see your Candy Corn Cones
One way to illuminate the Candy Cone Cones would be to place glow sticks near the cones to illuminate them at night
