Our local Ace hardware in Wauseon Ohio stocks all washer sizes up to 3 1/2″. I guess it’s true…”ACE IS THE PLACE”

I was camping this last week and came across a washer tournament. I have never seen this before. It looks like a lot of fun and a great fund raiser event.

I made a 14x 36 board with tree 4″ holes.
First holes counts 1 point
Then the middle hole counts 3 points
Then the third hole counts 5 points.
The washers are 2.5″ We don’t realy know the rules, and how to count the points.

My daughter-in-law wants me to build a square washer box for our son. Does it have to have 2X4 sides or is the inside diameter the important part? We live in Tucson and they in St. Louis. If a smaller dimention wood is used, It would save a lot of shipping cost.
