Scoring

How the result works

Pass from the ground. No contact. Clear 12 x 8 m passing lane.

Example: Lift a stationary ball from a marked base and send fast, controlled passes through three receiver windows.

Host tip

Keep it clean

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

Safety: Use a stationary ball, one passer, and one receiver; nobody contests the base. Use one active thrower and a clear target lane. Use stationary or walking receivers only, flexible targets, and controlled throws. No lifting, jumping contests, defenders, or aerial challenges; retrieve only on the host's clear call.
