2. FAT’s Pool Table Break –
Each team member will get one opportunity to break a rack of balls. Count the numbers on each ball that drops on the break.

Rat team will verify all scores for your team scorecard.
3. Electronic Darts –

Three bull’s eyes within the team will net you 100 team points. The match is over with first to reach 21 or three bull’s eyes. Rat team will total points on the team’s scorecard.
