Scoring

How the result works

A valid nutmeg with retained possession scores 1 bonus point.

Example: A winger slips the ball through a defender's legs and a teammate collects it. The attacking side earns 1 point.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Counting a nutmeg after the ball is immediately lost. Possession must stay with the attacker or a teammate.

Safety: Keep challenges controlled and stop if close contact turns reckless.
