The players race to close the numbers one to nine on the board. Closing a number means hitting three of that number. In this game, the players are only allowed strictly three counts to close a number. The extra points/counts earned while closing a number will go to the opponent. For example, player A was able to close number one by two doubles. In this case, there were four points/counts that have been earned. Since only three counts are needed to close a number, the extra one count will go to the opponent.

Where there are more than two players involved, the players must agree on to whom the extra closing points should be given. It may be given to the player who shoots next. It may also be given to the player who needs that point(s) the most. Moreover, the choice may be allowed to the shooter who made such extra points.

The extra point(s) is not to be given to an opponent if that would be the last point(s) he needs to win. The winner is the player who closes all the numbers first. The numbers may be closed in any order.
