Benefits of technology

[0005]An object of the present inventions is to provide a full football game experience.
[0012]An additional further object of the present inventions is to provide an exciting and realistic method for teams to toss beanbags to simulate downs and turnovers.
[0013]A toss football game has an image of a full-length football field including a far end zone and a yard line area extending the length of the rectangular planar surface from a far end zone and a plurality of through-holes for passage of a hand tossed football-shaped beanbag. A touchdown hole is located over the far end zone to simulate realistic play. A safety hole is located over the near end zone. Reward-hazard pairs of holes are arranged with hazards down slope from rewards. Grid markings extend the length between the end zones along yard numbers, tick marks and a stick-on center field logo. Orange pylons protrude at corners of end zones. A scoring mechanism permits players to keep track of series played and points earned. Instructions prescribe an extra point being earned immediately subsequent to a toss passing through a touchdown through-hole when a next toss lands on the planar surface and also prescribe an untimed having a limited number of tosses per series and a limited number of series per game, extendable when tossing though a prescribed hole until an upper limit.

Problems solved by technology

Toss games corn hole style boards were incapable of providing a full football game experience.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a board 105 for the toss game 100. A rectangular planar surface 110 forms the top of the board for the toss game. An image 120 of full-length football field is illustrated upon a top surface of the rectangular planar surface 110.

[0026]The image includes a far end zone 123, a near end zone 125 and a yard line area 127 extending the length of the rectangular planar surface 110 between the far end zone and the near end zone. The image 120 is preferably painted on an outer, top surface of the board. The image of the yard line area on said rectangular planar surface 110 preferably illustrates grid markings extending the length of the rectangular planar surface 110 substantially between the end zone images 123, 125 and include images of yard numbers 129 consisting essentially of number images 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20 and 10 in this specified order to further cause a realistic football game feeling.

[0027]The image of the yard line area o...

Abstract

A toss football game has an image of a full-length football field including a far end zone and a yard line area extending the length of the rectangular planar surface from a far end zone and a plurality of through-holes for passage of a hand tossed football-shaped beanbag. A touchdown hole is located over the far end zone to simulate realistic play. A safety hole is located over the near end zone. Reward-hazard pairs of holes are arranged with hazards down slope from rewards. Grid markings extend the length between the end zones along yard numbers, tick marks and a stick-on center field logo. Orange pylons protrude at corners of end zones. A scoring mechanism tracks series and points. Instructions prescribe an extra point earned when a next toss lands on the planar surface and an untimed game having a limited number of tosses per series and a limited number of series per quarter, extendable when tossing though a first down hole until an upper limit and, after a touchdown (or subsequent field goal or two point conversion), any other beanbags in that series can still continue to be thrown by the same team.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONS[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present inventions relate to toss games and, more particularly, relate to beanbag toss games for simulating football.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Beanbag toss games, also known as corn hole games, provide entertainment by the tossing of a beanbag at a distance though one hole in a board. Corn hole style boards have been provided with football themes. Other toss games use a beanbag tossed at more then one home in a board to simulate a football game. Toss games corn hole style boards were incapable of providing a full football game experience.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONS[0005]An object of the present inventions is to provide a full football game experience.[0006]A further object of the present inventions is to provide an image of a full-length football field upon a top surface of thereof.[0007]Another further object of the present inventions is to provide an image including a far end zone and a yard line area e...
