Scoring

How the result works

2-10 adults use an individual clockwise rotation so every participant pitches once and bats once before the winner is decided.

Example: Pitcher and hitter trade fixed five-pitch turns with a complete six-outcome scoring table and equal pitching and batting roles.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Changing the feed, start line, or hand target between players. Keep the setup equal.

Safety: One active swing only. Everyone else stays behind the safety line. The zone judge stays to the side, never behind the target or inside the swing or pitch path. Use plastic gear and controlled pitching; stop for unsafe distance or loss of control.
