The game consists of two washer pits located opposite one another, each with a recessed cup .
Contestants stand in one pit and throw washers toward the cup in the other pit.
The object is to land in the cup, or nearest the cup, to score. T he history of the game is cloaked in mystery but lends itself to colorful conjecture. Most certainly humble roots fathered the game as participants used readily-available parts, a hallmark of the game that survives even today.
