Scoring

How the result works

4-12 adults take two equal receiver-start reps in one straight no-contact lane; raw speed does not score.

Example: Score a receiver's cue response, first three controlled steps, lane control, and gradual finish in a straight solo no-contact rep.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Starting the next step attempt before the field and retrieval lane are clear.

Safety: One active runner, no defender or contact, no crossing route or traffic, and no abrupt stop. Stop for pain, dizziness, unsafe heat, or poor footing.
