Rules to Remember

• The fault lines are the painted lines. Stepping on the paint is a fault. Judges are not required to give warnings about foot faults.

• Official Head judges for this event will make any necessary final rulings.

  • • Assistant head judges wearing yellow jerseys are the ONLY judges who can provide seconds on calls.

• All competitors will get 10 warm-up throws before their first match of each bracket, then 1 throw between each game/match.

• If you are unsure about anything in your match (points, you didn’t hear a call, you’re not sure who won) please stay in your lane and communicate with your judge. If you leave the lane, everything scored in the match is final.

• Regarding stalemates, the competitor or team with the lower score throws first.

• No purposeful distractions will be tolerated.
