Washer Toss Scoring

• A washer that goes in the pipe and stays there is worth 3 points.
• A washer that lands in the box and stays there is worth 1 point.
• A washer that lands on the ground and stays there is worth 0 points.
• A washer that lands on the box lip (rare) and stays is worth 5 Points.
• A washer that lands on the pipe lip (extremely rare) and stays is a game winner.
  
   
• Cancellation Scoring: Only one team can score points per round. The team with the higher score cancels out the points of the opposing team in that round.
