Washers Game

I read on another post about the game washers. I saw this being played for the first time last year. Can someone post the dimensions to make the box, the size of the hole and the size of washer along with any other pertinent information for the game? Thanks

There are several sizes people use, and angles vary.  Not sure off hand on the angle, but the best size is 24-L x 18-W. 1/2" plywood. 2-1/2" washers. 3" hole.

My brother has a set we've played with for years on our extended family camping trip.  Usually about 20 of us including kids.  We do a family tournament every year and come up with a make-shift trophy for the winner.  Loads of fun and days of good, clean competition.

These common distance between platforms is usually 10', but we tend to go a little further.  1 point for platform, 2 points for leaner(over edge of hole), and 3 points for ringer.  Many people use the cancel method, meaning my ringer cancels yours, and so forth.  Also many use the exact point finish, meaning if I'm at 19 and hit a ringer and a leaner, the 5 points would put me over 21, so the points are subtracted instead.

What angles vary? Is the board made on an angle with a rise towards the hole furthest away? Also, how far apart are the holes supposed to be?

We use a single hole board with the hole in the exact center.  I dont like the idea of a 3 hole board. The back support should be around 6.  The front should be 1-2 I think.

The 3 hole boards are 36x24

Games vary a lot, but heres a site I found.  They use a 24x24 single hole.  But anyway theres some decent info here

You can also buy a set made out of plastic at Walmart and other places.  Myself I'd rather have the wooden set because the plastic is bright yellow, but it would be less hassle.
