Choose a suitable playing area. Place boards on stable, level ground away from vehicle traffic, walkways, windows, fragile objects, and other potential hazards.

Allow enough throwing space. Position players and spectators away from the throwing path. Adjust the distance to match available space and player skill.

Check board stability. Confirm that both boards sit securely before play. On folding-leg configurations, make sure the legs are properly opened and positioned.

Handle folding parts carefully. Keep fingers clear of hinges and moving leg components when setting up or collapsing the boards. Supervise younger players around heavier equipment.

Use the set only as intended. Do not stand, jump, or sit on the target boards. Avoid throwing bags toward people, animals, or breakable objects.

Protect the boards from moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to rain, standing water, or damp ground. Dry the boards and bags after outdoor use before putting them away.

Store in a dry location. Keep the set indoors or in a suitably protected storage area between games. Store boards securely to prevent tipping or accidental falls.

Inspect before each game. Check the board surfaces, supports, and tossing bags for damage or loose components. Discontinue use if any part is damaged or unstable.
