Scoring

How the result works

Create an overlap. Light tag or flag. 1 channel · 18×8m.

Example: Draw one defender, hold the support line, and decide whether the pass creates the cleaner try.

Host tip

Keep it clean

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

Safety: The defender shadows the lane—no body block, shoulder check, grab, or dive. Stop immediately when a touch or flag pull is called. Keep the try-line run-off area clear.
