Scoring

How the result works

Clean ramp and correct finish scores 2; clean ramp only scores 1 if the group allows it.

Example: A player calls left finish, clears the ramp, and stops in the left zone for 2 points.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Making the ramp too steep. Keep it low enough that the ball stays on the floor.

Safety: Keep the ramp low and stable; remove it if balls jump, bounce, or roll unpredictably.
