this year put put stuff wherever, and its worth random (and small) point values. then you dont go behoind the line because its not strategic and dont get a bonus at the end.
interesting way of putting it, but a good point nonetheless.

I would have liked it much better if they explained the score somehow after every match. It becomes VERY confusing when trying to figure out what's capped and whats not and goal is owned by whom. So by the end of the first day I just didn't bother and just trusted the score, but I hear that in Arizona Regional, they messed up the scoring/ranking; that's no good.
