Accuracy
The boomerang is thrown from the bull’s-eye and allowed to land untouched. Points are awarded for accuracy to the bull’s-eye. Ten points inside the bull’s-eye, 9 points if it is on the line and accordingly on down to 1 point if it lands on the 10 meter line. Five throws… add up the points.

Aussie Round
Many people consider this to be the quintessential event. Thrown from the bull’s-eye, points are awarded for flight distance, accuracy of the return, and catching the boomerang. Five throws are made by each competitor. Maximum possible points with five catches, five throws over 50 meters, and five catches in the bull’seye is 100. Four points for each catch. Six points for 50+ meters. Ten points for accuracy. Distance points are only earned if accuracy and/or catching points are earned.

Trick Catch
Throwing and catching a series of "trick" catches such as "left hand by itself", "right hand by itself", "tunnel catch" (between the legs), "eagle catch" (one hand swooping down like an eagle), "behind the back" and "foot catch". The one with the most catches wins!
Trick Catch Doubling
Throwing two boomerangs. Use one boomerang with a longer flight and longer hover, and one with a shorter flight and shorter hover. Hold both boomerangs in one hand and throw…yes, both at the same time. The one with the most catches wins!
Consecutive Catch
Just like it sounds. Go for some trick catches … don’t drop!!
Glorp
Just like pig or horse from basketball. Each thrower has to duplicate the previous catch (unless it’s a drop). Miss a catch, get a letter…GLORP and you’re gone!! Last one throwing wins.
