See the idea in action
Near-perfect timing earns six rather than a weak single. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
This is timing scoring, not full fielding simulation. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
