In order to score points the sponge target has to be dislodged completely. What does “completely” mean?
To score points in the Hockey Shoot Out the sponge target has to be in no way attached to the plastic encasing. The sponge target has to be either on the ground or stuck in the goal mesh. It is quite possible to hit the sponge target perfectly yet have it remain attached to the target. This happens sometimes when a ball hits the sponge at the 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock position. The target rotates on its axis and remains in encased in the plastic.
