Scoring

How the result works

Closest legal stop to the tape line scores 1 point each round.

Example: Two balls cross the line, one stops six inches short, and that player scores the round.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Using a line too far away. Start short, then move the line only if everyone can control the roll.

Safety: Use low-speed putts and stop immediately if someone steps into the lane.
