Scoring

How the result works

4-20 adults take three equal rolls with the same recorded ball after every participant demonstrates controlled ground rolling.

Example: Roll one session-selected soft-shell, low-bounce weighted ball along a clear lane toward fixed 1-, 2-, and 3-point stop zones; no throwing.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Starting before the route, station, or finish area is clear. Inspect and reset it first.

Safety: Ground rolling only: no throwing, bouncing, slamming, or kicking. One active roller, judge-controlled retrieval, intact soft shell, clear surface, and participant-controlled load. Stop for damaged gear, pain, loss of control, or unsafe footing.
