History of the Ladder Ball (Blongo ball) Ladder ball, also called Blongo ball, or Bolo ball originated in American campgrounds. Stakes are set in the ground 20 yards across from each other. *Every stoke counts no matter how slightly the ball moves. Bolas that are knocked off during play do not count as points. *The team going first throws all three bolas then the other team throws. As many as four points can be scored in one round. For four player teams, each player throws one ball. The highest amount of points available per player is 10. When there are multiple players on a team, a playing rotation is determined at the start of a game and is maintained throughout the entire game. Points are determined by which step your bola wraps around. Players can score an optional bonus of 1 point by hanging all 3 bolas from the same step or by hanging a bola on all 3 (1-2-3) steps in one round.
