How to play Pepper Rally Marathon

Scoring

How the result works

Each clean contact in sequence adds one to the pair total.

Example: Pair players facing each other with enough space to move.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Swinging too hard for the space. Keep attacks controlled enough to continue the rally.

Safety: Separate pepper lanes far enough that missed balls cannot roll under another pair.
