Matches are played on a field initially set up as illustrated in the figures below. Two alliances – one “red” and one “blue” – composed of two teams each, compete in each match. The object of the game is to attain a higher score than your opponent alliance by placing tennis balls into your colored goals and by being parked on a platform. A bonus is awarded to the alliance that has the most total points at the end of the Autonomous Period.

   There are a total of seventy-seven (77) tennis balls available as scoring objects in the game. Sixty-one (61) of

these tennis balls will be found on the field, while eight (8) will be available to each alliance prior to the match.

Three (3) of the sixty-one tennis balls on the field are bonus balls.
