Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides game apparatus intended to be played on a lawn by two teams comprised of one or two participants each. Each teams' participants stand within a boundary defined by a hoop positioned adjacent a respective framework. The two teams are spaced in facing relation to one another, a predetermined distance apart, and each participant has several projectiles to toss towards the opposing framework. The framework is comprised of a series of hollow, PVC pipes arranged to form a hose receiving base portion and a water emitting T-portion extending vertically upward from the base portion, wherein the ends of the horizontal cross member of the T include spray nozzles attached thereto. An arm is pivotally attached at its proximal end to the vertical member of the T-portion, and includes a bucket securely attached to its distal end. The arm controls a valve positioned inside the vertical member. In its rested position, the arm extends horizontally outward from the vertical member, with the valve being in a closed position. As the arm is pivoted downwardly by weighted projectiles tossed into the basket by the teams, the valve opens a corresponding amount. When the arm is forced to an essentially vertical position, the valve is completely open.
