I spent a few days at the beach and saw some guys playing this game. I googled it and its 3 hole washers. I am only familiar with one hole (usually a tuna fish can or a pvc coupling stuck in the dirt). This looked like fun. The players would stand on the board when they would throw. Here is a pic.




Here is another pic I took so you won't think that I am a weirdy taking pics of dudes.

yes, I have only played 3 hole washers actually.

Same here, 3 hole at the tailgate every game

Three hole washers is good stuff. We always play at A&M tailgates.

And I would take the one on the left. Her face is probably ****ed up, but I would still hit it doggy style.

Which one is the picture of the 3...nvmd

Yeah, but their fag version looks really close. It should be 21' from front hole to front hole (FIFY protected) if I remember correctly.

I have only ever played 3 as well. Here is a pic of one of our boards.




We set ours about 10 ft apart though.

I've played both versions. I think the three hole game is more fun. It seems to go faster.

We play 3 hole washers at our tailgate, and at just about any get together with family or friends. This is just my personal preference, but I do not like boards covered in astroturf. We play on plain wood boards, and you can actually stop the washer on the board if you angle it right. The one time I played on astroturf boards, the washer seemed to fly off the board with very little chance of stopping it or backing it up. It seemed like you had to hit the hole perfectly to get the washer to go in.

3 hole only way to play!

I think a bird **** on her.

Prefer regular washers when it is a possibility, however, at things like tailgates, etc where real washer pits aren't really feasible, then 3 hole is a great alternative.

3 is the only way I'd ever seen until I came here. Mo betta.

3 hole is the only way to go.

We never have problems with the washers sliding off and I get the washers to stay on the board on almost every throw. I guess it all depends on technique and skill....

The reason we use the turf is to protect the wood a little better.

We play 1,2,3. First to 21. Sometimes we play bust, but most of the time we don't.

I've always played 3-hole. I used indoor/outdoor carpet instead of astro-turf. Still protects the plywood top, but doesn't slide so much.

We put a slight angle to the boxes, so the washers tend to stay put a little better.

I’ve only played three hole washers.

I have a rules question. Does anyone else play with the rule that you have to hit the board with your final throws, once you hit 21? Meaning you hit 21 with your first washer and have two remaining. You have to hit the board with the last two for your first washer to count. This is how my friends play. I think this rule is f$*&ing retarded. You don’t lose points on the other rounds if you miss the board. Why the last?

I wanna build one of these...

what size washers?
anyone got dimensions for the boards?

When we play, bust takes you back to 15 not 13.

Should it be 13?

I don't know the dimensions off the top of my head, and I'm too lazy to go measure them. I couldn't find the washers we use anywhere except Tractor Supply Company. At least in the one in College Station, if you tell them you're looking for washers for the game, they know which ones. They are bigger and heavier than any washers I could find at Lowe's or Home Depot.

Scoodogg - My group must be retarded because we play the same way your friends do. Once you hit 21, you have to hit the top of the board with your remaining washers, without going in a hole, to end the game. You'd be surprised how many time the game extends because someone misses the board or accidentally throws one in the hole. If you miss the board, you subtract how many points that got you to 21. If you hit a hole, you subtract that many points.

Also, if you bust, our rules are that you subtract the "hole" points from your current score. For example, if you have 17 and hit a 5 hole, you go back to 12.

And then, there are all kinds of other complicated rules regarding covering points, etc.

All-in-all, it's the most popular thing are our tailgates, and someone is playing washers from right after we set up in the morning until we break it down late at night.

need to slant the platforms.... can also be played with bean bags

Cinch, a problem with the rule is people in our group rarely miss the board or make one on their final throws. They just chunk the crap out of the washer at the board to skip it off of it. Then we have to seach the grass for the missing washers.

Love 3 hole washers. We play the bust rule with a twist called - step off... if player 1 hits 21 with un-thrown washers in hand, player 1 steps off the board. if player 2 'covers' then player 1 has another opportunity to make 21 or must hit top of the board if player 2 did not cover.
BTW - My father-in-law builds 3 hole sets in his garage since woodworking is his hobby. he is building some now to take on vaca to SPI. I could post a price if any are interested - he is an Ol Army Ag, class of '59

I would be interested in a price.

I played a 3 hole game with your mom...

We had a great thread a few months ago on washers. Alas we had no hotties.

Easttexasaggie....

I posted while back on a previous thread what the dimensions of my boards are. Not 100% sure off the top of my head but I think they are 2'W x 4'L. And the washers are 4" with the holes slightly larger than that. We have 2x4's as the frame. Also with the frame we have 2x4's that separate each hole and give it some extra support. And then there is a piece of plywood over the top of the frame. We do not have ours angled. I like them better not angled. We have a chain that connects them and they are about 10-15ft apart.

Here is the directions for the boards those guys are using. Notice they have a small rope attached between them to keep them the correct 10ft distance.
