Pitching rounds will be conducted using cancellation scoring. Matches will be played until one player scores 21 points. Only the difference between scores in each inning counts. If the result of an inning is equal, no score is recorded for that inning. The player who scores in one inning shall pitch first in the next inning. If no score is recorded, the order of pitching shall alternate.

Double elimination rounds will be conducted using cancellation scoring.

Shoes shall be pitched from alternate ends of the court at stakes 40 feet apart, except as modified herein. Women in age divisions 50-74 will pitch a distance of 30 feet.

Players shall match shoes to determine who pitches first.

The pitcher must stand on one of the pitching platforms. Players may use the platform on either side of the court. Feet must stay behind the foul line and within the platform limits until the shoe has left the pitcher’s hand. Opponents must remain on the opposite side of the stake, either in the rear quarter of the other pitching platform or behind the pitching box. The opponent must not talk, move, or in any way distract the pitcher. Such an offense incurs a loss of score in that inning. No player may walk to the opposite stake, or be informed of the position of the shoes before an inning is complete. Once thrown, shoes may not be moved or touched until the scores have been decided. Such an offense incurs a loss of score in that inning.

Shoes must be within 6 inches of the stake to be scored. A shoe that first strikes the ground outside the target area or rebounds from the backboard cannot be scored, nor can any shoe thrown from an invalid position. Such shoes may be removed from the target area on the request of the opponent. A shoe landing in the area and breaking is not scored; it is removed and another pitch taken. A “ringer” is a shoe that encircles the stake so that a straight edge could touch the two prongs without touching the stake.
