Scoring

How the result works

A clean cutback finish scores 1 point.

Example: The server reaches the cone, cuts back to the penalty spot, and the runner scores.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Serving too close to the goal removes the timing challenge. Keep the cone fixed.

Safety: Keep finishers from crashing into the server or goal frame.
