Scoring

How the result works

Each Bingo, Bango, and Bongo is worth 1 point unless the group sets different values.

Example: Taylor reaches the green first, Sam is closest after everyone is on, and Riley holes out first. Each earns 1 point.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Checking closest before every player is on the green. Bango is measured only after all balls reach the green.

Safety: Play in normal order and never rush a shot to chase a point.
