We pitch according to the American Horseshoe Pitchers Association rules,� which uses a count all method for scoring. This means that all shoes that are legally thrown and are around the stake or within 6 inches count towards your score. There is no cancellation of points. Each person is assigned to a division, according to their average, and a handicap is calculated for everyone. With this method of scoring it is possible for a person with a lower average, along with their handicap to beat someone with a higher average, as the person with the higher average will have a lower handicap.
