Throwing game apparatus & method

A throwing game apparatus, comprising:

• a planar base configured to be elevated above a floor;
• an annular periphery disposed along a perimeter of the planar base and extending upwardly therefrom;
• a plurality of apertures configured in a linear array and each positioned within a distal one-half of the planar base;
• two or more legs extending from the planar base and configured to contact the floor, wherein the planar base is elevated above the floor;
• a first hinge coupled between a first leg of the two or more legs and the annular periphery;
• a second hinge coupled between a second leg of the two or more legs and the annular periphery, wherein the first and second hinges are disposed at opposite ends of the throwing game apparatus;
• a fabric layer, the fabric layer covering each of:
• the planar base and at least one surface of the annular periphery;
• a handle coupled to the annular periphery, wherein the handle is adapted to enable portable carry of the throwing game apparatus;
• further characterized by:
• each of the plurality of apertures further comprising a receptacle body engaged therewith, the receptacle body being configured to hold one or more throwing objects within a volume of the receptacle body;
• each of the apertures having a diameter (D′) associated therewith;
• a gap disposed between each of the apertures, wherein the gap comprises a distance between 0.25 and 1.0 times the diameter of the apertures;
• the annular periphery extending upwardly from the planar base at a height (H′), wherein the height is less than or equal to the diameter of the apertures;
• and
• the linear array of apertures being disposed along a longitudinal center of the planar base;
• wherein the planar base is oriented at an angle with respect to a horizontal plane.
