Prepare for the competition

1. Choose your vocabulary

2. How many throws?

3. How fast does the target move?

Answer three in a row and you get a run-up. The target sweeps from 0° to 90° and back: stop it in the middle for 45°, the angle that throws furthest. The longer you leave the run-up the faster you are going, but cross the line and the throw is a foul.
