Abstract

A ball tossing game which includes a goal post and an elastically resilient tossing ball unit, the goal post including a vertical trunk with sidewardly extending branches, each one of which is painted with a specific color so to designate a different scoring value and over which the tossing ball unit is attempted to be hooked or entwined when thrown.

Claims

1. In a ball-tossing game, the combination which includes a generally upright, stationary goal post having a plurality of branches of different point scoring value extending outwardly therefrom and a tossing unit normally physically detached from but adapted to be manually thrown toward said goal post for entwinement thereon, said tossing unit consisting of a pair of resilient ball elements connected with the opposite ends of an elongated, flexible and elastically stretchable connector band, and a finger-gripping tab extending laterally outwardly from said connector band intermediate the ends thereof and by which said tossing unit may be grasped for throwing toward said goal post.
