LUSITANO RETREAT — Rope quoits
Ring-toss family with British and Australian traditions; this is a retreat garden adaptation.
Players: 2 or more individual players
CHOSEN VERSION: Local beginner single-peg rope-ring rules; not Australian six-quoit competition, iron quoits or numbered multi-peg scoring.

EQUIPMENT
1. Five soft rope rings per player
2. Stable purpose-made peg target and score sheet

SETUP
1. Place a single rounded peg on level ground with a clear landing zone.
2. Agree one shared throwing line and three rounds; choose a reachable distance for the group rather than claiming a regulation distance.

HOW TO PLAY
1. Draw the order of players; each takes five underarm throws before the next player.
2. Stay behind the line. No one retrieves until all five rings have stopped and the score is recorded.
3. A ring fully surrounding the peg after settling is a ringer; leaning or touching without surrounding does not score.
4. Retrieve together on the host’s signal and repeat the same order for three rounds.

SCORING
1. Retreat scoring: one point per ringer; misses and foot-over-line throws score zero.
2. Do not count proximity points or stack bonuses. A ring displaced by a later throw is judged only in its final position.
3. Add all three rounds. For tied leaders, play another complete five-ring round; repeat until separated.

WINNING: Highest total after three rounds, with equal-round tie-breaks.

AT THE RETREAT
Soft rings only for this shared guest station; no metal-ring substitution.
Reclaimed wood can form a storage box or sign, but the target must be stable and free of sharp edges.
