Scoring

How the result works

Each clean first touch scores 1 point.

Example: A receiver cushions the pass inside the box and passes out through the right gate for 1 point.

Keep it clean

Serving balls too hard for the group. The first round should be controllable.

Safety: Use controlled passes and keep the receiving box clear.
