Scoring

How the result works

Fastest adjusted time wins after penalties.

Example: A player finishes in 18 seconds but taps one marker, so the final time is 21 seconds.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Making the lane too tight. Keep turns wide enough for slow control.

Safety: Avoid stairs, cords, doorways, slick floors, and any crowded walkway.
