2-4-6 Baton Opener
How to begin the game
Winner of the king toss pick either picks which team throws first or they pick which side of pitch they want to throw from.
If the winner of the king toss elects to throw first, the loser of the king toss picks their side to play from. The winner of the king toss will begin the match by throwing two batons, the other team will throw four. The remainder of the game, six batons will be thrown by each team.
If the winner of the king toss elected to pick a side, then loser of the king toss can choose either to throw the first two batons or instruct the other team to throw the first two batons. Once the opening team throws two batons, the other team will throw four batons. The remainder of the game, six batons will be thrown by each team.
If your team is throwing either two or four, it’s your option to select which ones out of the six you want to throw.
No person is allowed to throw more than three batons in a baton throwing round. The 2-4-6 opener normally has additional requirements. Since this is a two person per team minimum, we won’t require that two different players throw the opening two nor that three different players are required to toss during the four baton round.

If there is a 3rd game, do another king toss to see who is closest to the king. The winner of the king toss decides which
The goal of the 2-4-6 baton opener is lessen the chance of quick defeat and to extend game play for all skill levels.
