Abstract
A method of playing a soft toss game utilizes a collapsible target structure. The method includes transporting the structure, which includes a plurality of bucket components, to a desired location. Each bucket component includes an outer wall, a bottom surface, and an open area at the top of the outer wall that is large enough to receive any of a plurality of tossable objects when tossed by a player. During transport, the bucket components are nested within one another. At the desired location, the bucket components are assembled in a stack. A first player tosses a first of the plurality of tossable objects in the general direction of the stack. A score is determined a score for the first player based on where the object lands relative to the stack. These steps are repeated until the game is completed. Then the bucket components are disassembled and re-nested within one another.
