Giant Yard Pong is played with 1 or 2 person teams, 12 buckets and 2 balls.The object of the game is to either throw or bounce the ball into the other team’s buckets and eliminate all of the other team’s buckets before they eliminate yours. Players should stand behind their last bucket while throwing or bouncing the ball. Each team sets up a triangle of 6 buckets opposite of one another. Distance between sets of buckets should be a minimum of 15 feet (if that is too easy, back up the triangles). 

Throwing the ball into a bucket eliminates that particular bucket and it shall be removed from the triangle. If the ball goes in then bounces out, it does not count. Bouncing the ball into the bucket eliminates the bucket the ball went into AND one other of the shooter’s choice. A team must shoot both balls before the other team shoots and each player must take a turn. If a team makes both of their shots, they get both of the balls back for another turn. If a bucket is knocked over by a shot, the bucket is stood up, put back in its original position and is not taken away. 

When a team’s final bucket has been made, each player on the opposing team will get a chance to shoot until he/she misses. If they succeed in making it in all the opponent’s remaining buckets, the game will go into a 3 bucket overtime round. If the other team cannot force the game into overtime, that team wins.
