Garden Skittles set

To Play the Game firstly set the nine skittles up in a diamond formation, with each pin about 16 cm apart.  The throwing point is normally 5 metres. you can be further away for a longer game.  Just make sure both players are the same distance away for each turn. Players take it in turn to throw 3 balls each at the wooden skittles.  If all 9 are knocked over by the first or second ball, they are all set up again and the player gets a frree hand - ie a complete knock over or 'skittle' is a free turn, this means the player gets an extra go. this can be repeated 3 times maximum. Therefore a players maximum possible score is 27.  A much more normal score is 7  .
You may play garden skittles individually or as teams, each player adding their score to the team total.
The winner is the player, or team, with the highest score after an agreed number of rounds.
