<SC3>

A Ring is considered Scored on a Stake if it meets the following criteria:
  • The Ring is “encircling” a Stake. In this context, “encircling” means that any part of the Stake is at least partially within the volume defined by the inner edges of the Ring. Each Ring can only be counted for points once, even in cases where the Ring qualifies as Scored on multiple Stakes. If multiple Stakes are encircled by the same Ring, Top Rings will not be awarded for those Stakes. If multiple Stakes are encircled by the same Ring and either of those Stakes is on a Mobile Goal that is Placed in a Corner, that Ring should earn the points for the Stake that is not Placed in the Corner (i.e., that Ring should be Scored as 1 point, and not modified by the Corner). Intentionally causing a Ring to be Scored on multiple Stakes will, at minimum, receive a Minor Violation.
  • The Stake does not exceed its total permitted number of Rings (see definition of Stake). In the event of too many Rings on a Stake, the “highest” Ring(s) will not be considered Scored on the Stake. If the “highest” Ring(s) cannot be determined, neither/none of those Rings will be considered Scored on the Stake.
    • Note: There is no requirement for a Mobile Goal to be upright in order for its Rings to be considered Scored. Contact with any other Field Elements or Rings is irrelevant. Significant Q&As:
  • 2060 - Opposing color Ring will not count as Scored on an Alliance Wall Stake
  • 2166 - A Ring that is only encircling part of the flexible top can still count as Scored
  • 2315 - How to decide whether a Ring is encircling a Stake



    • Figure SC3-1: The six (6) green highlighted Rings would be considered as Scored, because they are “encircling” a Stake. The three (3) red highlighted Rings would not be considered as Scored, because they exceed the permitted number of Rings on the Mobile Goal Stake.


    Figure SC3-2: Even though the Mobile Goal is not upright, the six (6) green highlighted Rings would be considered as Scored, because they meet all the other criteria listed above. The red highlighted Ring would not be considered as “Scored” because it is not “encircling” the Stake.
