- Any shoe must be within one horseshoe-width (measured across the outside of the open end of the shoe) of the stake to be considered for points. (Official rules call for 6 inches max).
- Shoes hitting the grass or wood (logs) are 'dead' - and do not count (if they should rebound or roll into scoring position)!
- Shoes must land in the sand!
- The closest shoe to the stake gets 1 point.
- If you have two shoes closer than any of your opponent's, you get 2 points.

- If you have the closest shoe and a ringer, it's 4 points.
- If your opponent throws a ringer on top of yours, they cancel and no points are scored.
- Leaners are worth 1 point and are considered closer than any adjacent shoe except ringers. (Official rules give no value to leaners!!!).
