Get something into a receptacle from a chosen line

Mastertask notes:

In this version of the task, the contestants are aiming to land the contents of their chosen box in one or more buckets, rather than a bunch of different target containers. Each box contains three identical items, giving them three chances to score points in any of the buckets from their selected starting point. If they miss all their throws, they earn no points. The contestants are disqualified if they hit either David or Babben.

The brief for the task is as follows:

Throw something into the buckets.

First, choose one of the coloured boxes.

Each box contains three items.

Retrieve your box and choose a starting point, then stand on it.

After that, you have three attempts to throw and hit a bucket.

You may change buckets between attempts, but not your starting point.

If you hit David or Babben, you’re disqualified.

Most points after three throws wins.
