We added a Bimini Ring game to our patio to deal with the VI addiction. This has only occurred twice in the 6 months we have been playing but we are at a cross roads for scoring it. Very lively discussions, directly related to the level of rum in the punch.
One 'ting' equals 1 point, two 'tings' equal 3 points (a Nassau) and a ringer equals 5 points (a Bimini). It's not quite two rings and not a ringer but given the degree of difficulty...
My son-in-law likes Leaning Halo worth 10 points.

Any professionals out there who can provide a ruling?Picture

Haha, I'm sure that makes for a great debate! Wouldn't it be closer to a ringer since its hooked. An 'almost there'. Did it stay in that position until removed, or did it just stay for a bit and then fall on its own? Agree, that's a tough one to pull off!

Stayed until we removed so we called it a 'keeper'. Funny thing it has happened to me 2 more times at home and once at my daughters. Hoping I can keep the touch for Jost.
