Rules
Rules of the game, some necessary and others not, include:
- The foul line can not be crossed during a throw, doing so results in immediate loss of the round.
- The coin will not be scored, and will be lost, if it leaves the boundary area.
- Bouncing the coin off the goal line is permitted.
- If the time is not taken to clear a proper area, and no boundary lines are set, a coin is in "interference" if it touches any obstacle (such as a backpack). Coins in interference are lost as if they went out of bounds.
- Play is separated into rounds, of which the winner collects all the coins played unless specified that the round is "friendly" or "for practice."

Famous quotes containing the word rules:
“Good discipline is more than just punishing or laying down the law. It is liking children and letting them see that they are liked. It is caring enough about them to provide good, clear rules for their protection.”
—Jeannette W. Galambos (20th century)
“Now for civil service reform. Legislation must be prepared and executive rules and maxims. We must limit and narrow the area of patronage. We must diminish the evils of office-seeking. We must stop interference of federal officers with elections. We must be relieved of congressional dictation as to appointments.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“... a large portion of success is derived from flexibility. It is all very well to have principles, rules of behavior concerning right and wrong. But it is quite as essential to know when to forget as when to use them.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
