Scoring

How the result works

Use the whole field. Flag or agreed light tag. 28 x 20 m field with four corner zones.

Example: Each team can score in either of two corner try zones, rewarding width, scanning, and support over direct contact.

Host tip

Keep it clean

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

Safety: Keep all four corner run-off areas clear and prohibit diving into a zone. Flag belts are preferred. If flags are unavailable, agree on a gentle upper-arm or shoulder-blade touch before play. No body blocks, grabs, pushes, hand-offs, tackles, or contact near the head, neck, chest, or waist; stop on the first called touch. Inspect the surface, separate running lanes, keep the run-off area clear, and use a pace the whole group can control. No diving, blocking, grabbing, pushing, or chasing a loose ball into another lane.
