## Abstract

A target assembly for a target toss game is disclosed, comprising a frame including a first support member extending between a first base and a crossmember, and a second support member extending between a second base and the crossmember. A plurality of seesaws pivotally mounted via a pivot to the crossmember, each seesaw comprising central portion extending between a first target platform and a second target platform each dimensioned to receive a projectile.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A target assembly for a target toss game, comprising:
a plurality of seesaws pivotally mounted via a pivot to a frame, each seesaw comprising a central portion extending between a first target platform and a second target platform, wherein each of the first target platform and the second target platform is dimensioned to receive a projectile,
wherein the pivot is comprised of a first spring and a second spring.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The target assembly of claim 1, wherein the frame comprises a first support member extending between a first base and a crossmember, and a second support member extending between a second base and the crossmember.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The target assembly of claim 2, wherein the first target platform and the second target platform comprise a target surface.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The target assembly of claim 3, wherein the first target platform and the second target platform each include a barrier to retain the projectile thereon.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The target assembly of claim 4, wherein the pivot permits the seesaw to pivot from a neutral position to a raised position and a lowered position.

### Claim 6

(canceled)

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The target assembly of claim 5, wherein the crossmember is pivotally connected to at least three seesaws.

### Claim 8

A target assembly for a target toss game, comprising:
a frame including a first support member extending between a first base and a crossmember, and a second support member extending between a second base and the crossmember; and
a plurality of seesaws pivotally mounted via a pivot to the crossmember, each seesaw comprising a central portion extending between a first target platform and a second target platform, wherein each of the first target platform and the second target platform is dimensioned to receive a projectile,
wherein the pivot is comprised of a first spring and a second spring.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The target assembly of claim 8, wherein the first target platform and the second target platform comprise a target surface.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The target assembly of claim 9, wherein the first target platform and the second target platform each include a barrier to retain the projectile thereon.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

The target assembly of claim 8, wherein the pivot permits the seesaw to pivot from a neutral position to a raised position and a lowered position.

### Claim 12

(canceled)

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The target assembly of claim 11, wherein the crossmember is pivotally connected to at least three seesaws.

### Claim 14

A target assembly for a target toss game, comprising:
a frame including a first support member extending between a first base and a crossmember, and a second support member extending between a second base and the crossmember; and
at least three seesaws, each pivotally mounted in parallel via a pivot to the crossmember, each seesaw comprising a central portion extending between a first target platform and a second target platform, wherein each of the first target platform and the second target platform is dimensioned to receive a projectile and retain the projectile thereon, wherein landing the projectile on the first target platform or the second target platform causes the seesaw to articulate about the pivot to a raised position or to a lowered position, and wherein the pivot biases the seesaw to a neutral position,
wherein the pivot is comprised of a first spring and a second spring.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The target assembly of claim 14, wherein the first target platform and the second target platform comprise a target surface.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The target assembly of claim 15, wherein the first target platform and the second target platform each include a barrier to retain the projectile thereon.

### Claim 17

(canceled)

### Claim 18

(canceled)

### Claim 19

(canceled)

### Claim 20 (depends on 14)

The target assembly of claim 14, wherein the first and second target platforms correspond to a point during gameplay.
