Pour a quarter of your drink into the king's cup. Note: At the end of the game, in singles, loser drinks the king's cup. In doubles, teammates share the king's cup.
Turn Order
When a bag lands in between two different board rule sections, the board rule with the majority of the bag's area is picked. If a bag's area equally shares two bag rule sections, then the thrower determines which rule is picked.
Throwing
Bags that fall off the board, do not land on the board, do not land in hole, or bumped off the board are not counted.
