2873: Matching goal bonus for single pins: <SC6>
<SC6>Referring to the virtual driving skills for mix and match, single pins count for the matching goal bonus, ie: a single red pin in the triangle goal provides 10 points immediately. Does this apply to the real match as well? Or is a 2 pin stack required at minimum in order to get the matching goal bonus. Thank you very much
Thanks, 39855A, for your question.
Only a Stack can earn a Matching Goal bonus, and a Stack consists of 2 or more Connected Scoring Objects. Therefore, a single Pin placed in a matching-color Goal will not earn a Matching Goal bonus.
As described on page 6 of the game manual, "If there are any conflicts between the English-language PDF of the Game Manual and other supplemental or translated materials (e.g., referee training materials, the VIQRC Hub app, the game reveal video, a translated game manual, etc.), the most current version of the English-language PDF of the Game Manual takes precedence."
