Penalty Shootout: a guide for your next round

Try a more deliberate round

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.

Your goal

Score at least three of five penalties. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

From the start of a round

  1. Aim inside the goal.
  2. Shoot away from the moving keeper.
  3. A save or outside shot misses.
  4. Finish all five.

Using the playing area

Pointer/touch, aim buttons and Shoot. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

Work through an example

An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.

Avoid this misunderstanding

The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
