Questions and answers

Games are normally played to 21. This scoreboard is set to 21 and marks the team that gets there.
How far apart are washer toss boxes?
About 20 feet, often set by a string fixed to the front of each box. Without a string, ten paces from box to box comes to about the same distance.
