Quiots

Quoits is an ancient game for two or four people (doubles). The pitch consists of two circles or squares of clay, 54 feet apart, and each having in its centre an iron pin, called the hub. The quoits are iron rings. Their weight is not fixed, but is often 3 lb. or more. The object of the game is to throw the quoit over or near the hub from the opposite point, 54 feet away, one point being scored for each quoit nearer the hub than the opponent's quoits, and two being awarded for a quoit that drops over the hub, called a ringer. No points are awarded if opposing quoits are the same distance from the hub, and none are awarded if each side has a ringer.
