Scoring

How the result works

Score one for a clean overhead that lands in the target zone.

Example: Feeder sends one safe lob to start the turn.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Feeding lobs too deep. Keep the feed playable so footwork, not survival, decides the point.

Safety: Keep players out of the overhead landing area and avoid backpedaling into the fence.
