Suzy sticks is a disc game which requires an flying disc (of the sort used for the game of ultimate, 175 grams), two sets of pipes approximately 15 inches apart, with plastic cups (16 ounces) placed on top of the pipes. The two sets of pipes are set apart anywhere from 15 to 50 feet. The game can either be played by teams or individuals.
[edit] Scoring
To score points, the teams or individual take turns throwing the disc towards the sets of pipes. If the disc hits the ground or does not hit or go through the set of pipes, no points are awarded. If the disc hits the pipes, but the cup does not fall off, no points are awarded. If the disc hits the pipe and the cup becomes airborne, the point is up for grabs. If the cup hits the ground the throwing team is awarded a point, but if the cup is caught by the defending team before it hits the ground, the defending team is awarded a point. If the defending team interferes with the disc before it is past the pipes, the throwing team gets to throw again. If a cup is accidentally knocked off the pipe, the opposing team is awarded a point for each cup that touches the ground. Some rules stipulate that cups can only be caught with one hand and 'trapping' which is catching the disc between a hand and the body mean a point for the throwing team. Games are played to 11, and the teams switch positions after the first team reaches 6.
