The pitch consists of two soft clay squares 3 feet square delineated by a wooden box, each of which has a hob (iron post) standing centrally 2 - 3 inches above the surface, the distance between the hobs being exactly 11 yards apart. To play informal quoits outdoors on a lawn, Masters Games recommends that the stakes are positioned 11 yards apart protruding 6 inches above the ground. The scoring should be done as per the Northern game: The top ringer scores 2 points and other ringers score nothing ; where there are no ringers, the nearest quoit scores 1 point. According to an ancient legend, some giants hurled these stones together in a game of Quoits. This ancient game requires you to throw rings over a spike!Otherwise, the player with the top ringer scores 3 points. If no other ringers were scored and the same player also has the nearest quoit, an extra 1 point is scored. Quoits is undergoing a resurgence in some areas of the USA.

Whatever your throwing technique, points are scored by landing the hoops over the pegs and, as each peg is worth a different amount, it’s important to get your aim right. However, in some versions of the game players will throw all their rings, before the second player does the same, this is repeated till all players have thrown. The player with the lowest score is then eliminated and the game continues following the same pattern till there is a winner.

In many games, players will simply have to hit near to the spike to score, so actually aiming for a lower score rather than risking overshooting could certainly be a viable option. This will help you get through the first few rounds before aiming for more precise, difficult shots. You’re allowed complete access to Trethevy Quoit, so you can touch the stones and investigate the tomb as long as you like. You can even climb inside it if you feel moved to!The quoits are normally made of steel and should be no bigger than 8.63 inches and with a hole no less than 3.4" with no limit on the height or weight. A typical quoit will be 7 - 8" in diameter, have a hole diameter of 4.5 inches and weigh anything between 6 and 11 pounds. Due to the way the scoring works, the maximum score for each end is 2 points. The winner is the player who reaches the score of 21 first. In a pub match, two teams of 8 play and each member of a team is paired with an opponent. The total scores of both teams are added to decide victorious team. Once all four quoits have been thrown, if no ringers have been scored, the player with the closest quoit scores one point or, where both quoits from the same player lie closest, scores two points. A "cover" (quoit that covers the pin) counts before a "side-toucher" and any quoit on top of a cover cannot count as a ringer. A league game is up to 33 points. This temple has also been called King Arthur’s Quoit and has been connected with the Arthurian tales too.
