Scoring Rules
How a match is made up, game 4, how each game is won including a tie, and the stages a match goes through.
How it works3 sectionsabout 1 min
A match#
A match is 4 games. In games 1–3 every shooter on each team throws nine innings, each scoring 0 (a zap) to 9 (a horse).
| Game | What it is |
|---|---|
| Games 1–3 | Nine innings per shooter. Each shooter's innings are kept. |
| Game 4 | Games 1, 2 and 3 added together for each team. Nothing is thrown, and no shooter scores are kept. |
Who wins#
Each of the 4 games is won on its own: the higher final takes it. A match can end 4–0, 3–1 or 2–2, and those game wins are what the standings count.
A game level after nine innings is decided by a tenth inning, shot at the board. The app only records who won it — the finals stay level and nobody's average or zaps change. A level game 4 is settled the same way.
Good to know
Live scoring, entering by hand and the standings all decide a game the same way.
