Abstract

What is new in the art to which our invention pertains is that this is a game which utilizes a combination of materials and game pieces that are unique in design with the use of balls attached together and a vertical “Loopie Ladder”. This game requires no batteries, electricity or fuel other than the energy of humans. This is a unique game and contributes to the art and science of games and physical activity. The game has universal appeal for either gender. It may be played individually or in groups of two or more. If played alone, the object is to score the highest point value rung or outrigger with each toss.

Claims

1_. ):

The inventor claims the idea of a game played by one to four players or teams in which two balls connected by a tether of any type or material are manually tossed toward a vertical “

Loopie Ladder”

made out of any material or any size and the object of the game is to loop two (2) tethered together balls around a pole, post, ladder or rung device.

1a_. a):

That the inventor is to be protected from similar inventions using different materials. For example, if the balls are made of rubber, plastic or wood and connected by string, rope, plastic rawhide or other attachment, the inventor claims non-provisional domain. In addition the “

Loopie Ladders”

made out of materials other than PVC but resembling the inventors “

Loopie Ladder”

in structure are claimed to be protected by this patent.
