Scoring

How the result works

Score one for each controlled header that lands in the target zone.

Example: Server gives one gentle toss from the marked spot.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Serving too hard. Keep tosses gentle enough for control, not power.

Safety: Use soft service only and skip headers for anyone uncomfortable with heading.
