History Of Quoits

Quoits (koits, kwoits) (Pronunciation: "k-waits") is a traditional lawn game that involves the throwing of a metal or rope ring over a set distance to land over a pin (called a hob or mott) in the centre of a patch of clay or grass. Quoits is closely related to horseshoe pitching and the ever popular fairground game hoopla. Quoits's centre of popularity is in parts of the North of Englands countryside. The game is also very popular in parts of Scotland, Wales and areas of Yorkshire, England.

The quoit is a circular disc with a four inch hole in the centre which is traditionally made of rope or steel. The quoit can weigh anything up to 9 pounds but that completely depends on the region in which the game is played. The Quoits are thrown over the "hob"— which is a pin set in clay within a box like framework. The clay helps the quoits to stick in place once they have landed. As the game has developed differently in various localities, the rules always vary, but, in the Welsh version, for example, the player has to make two attempts at hitting the central hob. In the North of England, a quoit which has landed directly on the hob is called a "ringer" and scores two points. The first player to reach the magic 21 wins the game. Players should also try to land their quoits in ways which block further attempts by any other competitors.
