3092: Matching Goal bonus


Chad Jung
12-Feb-2026

<SC6> Hello, I encountered the following at an event and was unsure on the proper way to score it based on the 2 color stack (3 pins, 2 the same color on the floor goal)

In the example, I counted it as the following since I could not find a definite answer, I gave the benefit to the team (and would have utilized this approach for the entire tournament):

  • 6 connected pins
  • 1 two color stack
  • 1 three color stack
  • 2 stacks in matching goal
  • 1 stack placed on standoff goal

The 3 pin (2 color stack of yellow, yellow, blue) on the floor goal is where my confusion lies. I was unsure if the (yellow, yellow) combination now negates the matching goal bonus.

Thank you for all your help and clarification

This scenario is scored correctly. There is no penalty for having multiple Scoring Objects of the same color in a Stack.
