Theleft side bar 3, theright side bar 4, and the plurality ofrungs 2 are connected in a fashion that takes the form of a ladder. The plurality ofrungs 2 are positioned perpendicular to theleft side bar 3 and theright side bar 4. Thetop goal frame 10 is positioned at the top most point of theleft side bar 3 and theright side bar 4, fastened by a fastener of the plurality offasteners 11. Thegoal 1 formed by theleft side bar 3, theright side bar 4, the plurality ofrungs 2, and thetop goal frame 10 has a height of five feet. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the goal in upright position has a height of five feet. The plurality of goal openings 12 are defined by the plurality ofrungs 2, theleft side bar 3, and theright side bar 4. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plurality ofrungs 2 comprises of a quantity of 4 rungs. The plurality ofrungs 2 and thetop goal frame 10 create a total of five goal openings 12. The bottom four goal openings 12 have a height of ten inches. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, for each goal opening of the plurality of goal openings 12, the width of the goal opening decreases as it is positioned closer to the top of thegoal 1. To correspond with the decreasing width of the plurality of goal openings 12 as they get closer to the top of thegoal 1 andtop goal frame 10, the plurality ofrungs 2 decreases in length correspondingly. Theleft side bar 3 andright side bar 4 are positioned at an angle so that they tilt towards each other at the top of thegoal 1. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, theleft side bar 3 andright side bar 4 are not positioned parallel to each other but rather positioned at an angle towards the other. However, in other embodiment of the invention, theleft side bar 3 andright side bar 4 can be positioned to be parallel to each other with the plurality of goal openings 12 decreasing in height towards the top of thegoal 1. With therungs 2 decreasing in length towards the top, theleft side bar 3 and theright side bar 4 are angled to have a distance between each other of two feet at the base and one foot at the top. Thetop goal frame 10 positioned on the top of the present invention is one foot wide and three inches in height. The result is a plurality of goal openings 12 wherein the bottommost opening is the largest and each subsequent opening positioned closer to the top of thegoal 1 is smaller than the previous goal. Thegoal net 9 is connected to each of the plurality of goal openings 12 by means of the plurality offasteners 11. The plurality offasteners 11 fastens thegoal net 9 to be pinched to the plurality ofrungs 2 to form individual sacks for each goal opening. Thegoal net 9 is connected on the rear side of thegoal 1 and hang freely from the plurality of goal openings 12. When users toss the disc 20 into the plurality of goal openings 12, thegoal net 9 is able to catch and hold the disc 20. The size of the disc 20 being fixed creates more difficulty for the disc 20 to be tossed into a higher positioned opening of the plurality of goal openings 12 than a lower positioned opening of the plurality of goal openings 12 as higher positioned opening has a narrower opening for the disc 20 to pass through. There is a greater chance for the disc 20 to hit the plurality ofrungs 2, theleft side bar 3, theright side bar 4, or thetop goal frame 10 and not land ingoal net 9. - When playing the game, the users are required to stand the
goal 1 up to receive thrown discs 20. The present invention makes use of theleft support leg 5 and theright support leg 6 for standing support. Theleft support leg 5 and theright support leg 6 are manufactured to be the same length. Theleft support leg 5 is jointly fastened to theleft side bar 3 by the plurality offasteners 11. Theright support leg 6 is jointly fastened to theright side bar 4 by the plurality offasteners 11. Theleft support leg 5 and the right support leg 6 pivot to a stored position parallel to theleft side bar 3 and theright side bar 4, respectively. To retract theleft support leg 5 and theright support leg 6 for propping thegoal 1, the user is able to pull and pivot theleft support leg 5 and theright support leg 6 from the rear of the goal. For users to play the game, at least two of thegoals 1 are required and comprise of at least twoplayers 31. Eachplayer 31 has possession of onegoal 1, allowing oneplayer 31 to toss the disc 20 into thegoal 1 of theother player 31. To ensure that allgoals 1 of the game in play are propped at the same upright angle, theleft support chain 7 and theright support chain 8 are used to connect theleft support leg 5 and theright support leg 6 to theleft side bar 3 and theright side bar 4, respectively. Theleft support chain 5 and theright support chain 6 are of equal lengths of fourteen inches. Theleft support chain 5 connects theleft side bar 3 and theleft support leg 5 together in a fashion making theleft support chain 5 parallel to the ground when thegoal 1 is in the propped position. Theleft support chain 7 connects to theleft side bar 3 at a height of one-third the length of theleft side bar 3. Theright support chain 6 connects theright side bar 4 and theright support leg 6 together in a fashion making theright support chain 6 parallel to the ground when thegoal 1 is in the propped position. Theright support chain 6 connects to theright side bar 4 at a height of one-third the length of theright side bar 4. Theleft support chain 5 and theright support chain 6 hold thegoal 1 in an upright position at a fixed height and angle. - The plurality of goal openings 12 of the
goal 1 each has a predeterminedpoint value 13. The plurality of goal openings 12 towards the bottom of thegoal 1 have alower point value 13 and the plurality of goal opening 12 towards the top of thegoal 1 have ahigher point value 13. The sizes of the plurality of goal opening 12 directly correlate with the amount of points awarded for having the disc 20 thrown into the corresponding goal opening 12. The opening formed by thetop goal frame 10, being significantly smaller than the remainder of the plurality of goal openings 12, is valued to automatically win the game. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is a two player game that makes use of twoseparate goals 1. Thefirst goal 1 represents thegoal 1 of afirst player 31 and asecond goal 1 represents thegoal 1 of asecond player 31. Thefirst goal 1 and thesecond goal 1 are placed at a distance from each other. A firstfoul line 30 is defined for thefirst player 31 by the front of thefirst goal 1. A secondfoul line 30 is defined for thesecond player 31 by the front of thesecond goal 1. Thefoul line 30 is an imaginary line which exists right in front of thegoal 1 and the plurality of goal openings 12. Thefirst player 31 and thesecond player 31 stand beside or behind theircorresponding goal 1 and take turns tossing the disc 20 into thegoal 1 of the opposingplayer 31. Thefirst player 31 is automatically awarded points by tossing the disc 20 into thegoal net 9 corresponding to each of the goal openings 12 on thesecond goal 1. Thesecond player 31 is automatically awarded points by tossing the disc 20 into thegoal net 9 corresponding to each of the plurality of goal openings 12 on thefirst goal 1. Another method for thefirst player 31 and thesecond player 31 is to toss the disc 20 and deflect it off of theleft side bar 3, the right side bars 4, therungs 2, or thetop goal frame 10. When thefirst player 31 deflects the tossed disc 20 off any of the plurality ofrungs 2,left side bar 3,right side bar 4, or thetop goal frame 10 of thesecond goal 31, they are awarded a single point. However, thesecond player 31 is allowed to nullify these points awarded to thefirst player 31 by catching the deflected disc 20 off theleft side bar 3, theright side bar 4, the plurality ofrungs 2, ortop goal frame 10 of thesecond goal 1 before the disc 20 falls onto the ground. Thesecond player 31 is awarded a point when the disc 20 is deflected off theleft side bar 3,right side bar 4, the plurality ofrungs 2, or thetop goal frame 10 of thefirst goal 1. However, thefirst player 31 is allowed to nullify points awarded to thesecond player 31 by catching the deflected disc 20 off of thefirst goal 1 before the disc 20 falls onto the ground. When a step is taken past the firstfoul line 30 by thefirst player 31 as the disc 20 is being tossed, any points earned by thefirst player 31 during the turn is automatically nullified. When a step is taken past the secondfoul line 30 by thesecond player 31 as the disc 20 is being tossed, any points earned by thesecond player 31 during the turn is automatically nullified. - The
players 31 of the game can customize the point values to their own desires. The conditions to win the game can also be determined by theplayers 31. For example, therungs 2 can be valued from 2 to 5 from the bottom goal opening of the plurality of goal openings 12 to the top goal opening of the plurality of goal openings 12. The players can take turns tossing the disc 20 into the opposing player'sgoal 1 until one of theplayers 31 accumulates 21 points. Should anyplayer 31 toss the disc 20 into thetop goal frame 10 at any time during the game, theplayer 31 who tossed the disc 20 wins the game. Another variation of the point system for the present invention can value each of the plurality of goal openings 12 with a negative value. Theplayers 31 can start with an agreed upon number of points and toss the disc 20 until oneplayer 31 reaches 0. Theplayer 31 that reaches 0 points first is the winner. In another variation of the rules for the present invention, theplayers 31 must achieve tossing the disc 20 into the plurality of goal openings 12 in a certain sequence. In any scoring variations of the present invention, aplayer 31 automatically wins if the disc 20 is tossed into thetop goal frame 10. - The difficulty of the present invention can also be customized by the
players 31. This can be achieved by increasing the distance at which thefirst goal 1 and thesecond goal 1 are placed away from each other. The distance can be adjusted according to the skill of theplayers 31. Younger and lessexperienced players 31 could set the goals at 50 feet apart. For evenyounger players 31, thegoals 1 can be set just 20 feet apart. Moreexperienced players 31 may decide to set the twogoals 1 apart at a distance of 100 feet or more. The moreexperienced players 31 may also choose to angle the direction that thegoals 1 are facing. This requiresplayers 31 to curve the disc 20 into the goal openings 12. - The disc 20 used for the present invention can also be of different types for
different players 31.Younger players 31 can use a soft and floppy type of disc 20 for safety reasons.Players 31 who often play disc golf may choose to use putter discs or mid-ranger discs. Free-stylists or ultimate Frisbee players may decide to use a disc that is regularly use for their respective sport. - Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.

The field automatically determines the hit (ie double or homerun) and the pitch (ie strike). The field is easily portable and stored in a bag, that doubles as the strike zone. A miniature version is used as a game that includes a hitting plate and figurine bat/batter. A manual button releases the pitch and another button swings the bat to hit the pitch. The scoreboard dial keeps track of runs. | |
