Targets & Goals
Targets and goals give an activity its objective: the nets and frames a projectile aims for, the boards and marked zones that define scoring, and the interfaces that detect it. Sizing, contrast, and anchoring all affect both fairness and safety.
Targets & Goals
Nets and frames
Sizing and anchoring
Goals and frames are sized to match space and skill emphasis. Net depth, mesh size, and anchoring methods affect safety and retrieval. Portable versions use weighted bases or straps where permanent anchors are not available.
Boards and markers
Contrast and durability
Targets may be boards, rings, or marked zones. Contrast, height, and angle support visibility and fair scoring. Materials should withstand repeated impacts without sharp edges or fragments.
Scoring interfaces
Visual and assisted detection
Scoring can be detected visually by officials or aided by simple mechanical or electronic devices. Where used, devices should be maintained and checked according to manufacturer guidance.
