Scoring

How the result works

Control a punt. No contact. Clear 30 x 15 m kicking lane.

Example: Send controlled punts into empty landing boxes and score the ball's first ground contact-no receiver or aerial contest.

Host tip

Keep it clean

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

Safety: There is no receiver, catching player, defender, or aerial contest. Use one active kicker and one empty marked lane. Everyone else waits behind and to the side of the ball; retrieve only after the ball stops and the host calls the lane clear. Keep kicks away from people, roads, pets, windows, and other activities.
