Scoring

How the result works

The current spot is the score. Tied players shoot one sudden-death spot.

Example: Maya makes the short corner, moves to the wing, misses, and stays on the wing for her next turn.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Letting players drift from the marked spots. Keep feet on or behind the marker for every attempt.

Safety: Keep rebounders out of the shooter's landing space and use safe distances for the group.
