Setup: Each singles player starts with 8 discs and players alternate starting. In doubles, each player starts with 6 discs, partners use the same color and sit opposite, and the next round starts one seat clockwise.

Shooting: Wait for all previous disc motion to stop. Start the disc flat and stationary, touching the outer boundary line in your quadrant, and strike it with a finger without shooting aids. Keep some of your posterior on the seat and all chair legs on the floor.

With opposing discs in play: One of your discs must strike an opposing disc directly or by bumping another of your discs into it. Hitting only a peg or your own disc does not qualify.

Without opposing discs in play: The shooting disc or at least one disc struck during the shot must finish touching or inside the 15 line. A disc completely flat in the center hole qualifies.

Invalid shot: Remove the shooting disc and all other discs struck during the shot, including any twenties made; none score. After a valid shot, remove pocketed twenties and keep them visible until the round ends.

Scoring: The center hole is worth 20, followed outward by regions worth 15, 10, and 5. A twenty must lie completely flat in the hole. A disc touching a dividing line scores the lower region; for a flat disc, use its bottom edge to judge contact.

Outer boundary: A disc touching or crossing it is normally out. A spinning disc that touches only the playing surface and returns inside under its own momentum remains in play. A disc that hits the backboard or out-of-play discs and returns is out, but resulting changes to other discs and valid twenties stand.

Rounds and games: After all shots, count board points and removed twenties before moving discs. The higher raw total earns 2 round points; a tie earns 1 each. Four rounds make a game; tournament regulations determine games per match.
