Playing the Game:
Ladder Golf is played in rounds, each round consists of all players tossing 3 bolas.
A coin toss is used to decide which player or team will toss first.
The first player must toss all 3 bolas before the next player is able to toss his or her
bolas.Bolas can be tossed in anyway the player chooses, as long as they are tossed
individually
The winner of the round earns the first toss in the next round. Games are played to
an exact point total of 21. In order to win, a player must be the only one to score
exactly 21 points after the completion of a round
.
If a player goes over the exact point total, that players points for that round do not
count.For example: A player with 18 points needs 3 points to get the exact score of
21 in order to win. If that player has 5 points hanging on the ladder after all the
players have tossed all strands, none of those points count and the player will enter
the next round with 18 points again needing 3 points to win.
In the case of a tie, the players that tie will play as many overtime rounds as needed
until one player ends a complete round 2 points ahead of the other player. The 2
point rule only applies in overtime rounds. During regular play any player can win as
long as that player is the only one to score an exact total of 21 points at the end of
that round no matter how many points the other players have.

Scoring:
After all teams have tossed all their bolas, scoring is determined by the bolas that
are still hanging from the steps. Players can knock-off bolas during the course of
the game, in fact knocking-off other players bolas is encouraged and a good way to
play defensively. bolas that are knocked off during play do not count as points. Only
bolas that are left hanging after all bolas are tossed are counted as points.

Points:
Points are determined by which step your bola wraps around. The top step is worth
3 points the middle step is worth 2 points and the bottom step is only worth 1 point.
Players can score an optional bonus of 1 point by hanging all 3 bolas from the same
step or by hanging a bola on all 3 (1-2-3) steps in one round. The highest amount of
points available per player is 10. This is accomplished by hanging all 3 bolas on the
top (3 point) step.

Team Play:
Four players can play Ladder Golf by alternating play each round. Players simply
alternate turns with teammates. Extra bolas can also be purchased so up to 4
players can play individually on the same ladder or a second ladder can be
purchased for team play. With multiple ladders 2 players on opposite teams would
be on one side and the other 2 opposing players would be at the other game ladder.
One side would toss all bolas and the other team would toss them back. Same
rules apply.
