- Each player puts his cap on the ground. The caps are put in line. The player then stands at a stand about five yards from the caps. He attempts to throw the ball into each cap in turn. He gets three turns i.e. if there are six caps he throws eighteen times. The total number of times he throws the ball into a cap counts as the score.
