'Tis true. If you can get the Distance but miss the plate every single launch then you only get the distance score,not the bonus points.~Fishman100


Well,I thought if you made it past, you would actually receive the bonus once instead of participation unless reach meant hitting the target???

Did anyone use tennis balls or golf balls instead of practice golf balls? Did the winning team hit all or almost all?????????

I used tennis balls, hit twice, and got 7th place.

Nope.

Bonus points are given for each ball hitting the plate on 1st bounce/impact. If you have at least 1 of the balls going the distance (which is hitting the plate, going past the plate, or going the same distance but hitting the plate), then you get the Distance score. But if none of them hit, then you don't get bonus points.

I'm pretty sure the rules state that the formula is "D x (n+1), where D is the distance and n is the number of balls that hit the target." (Or something like that.)

Does anyone know what Junkyard is like next year?

yea it is called mission possible

Uh, I think that has changed. If you go to the tentative summer insitute schedule (http://www.soinc.org/sites/default/file ... -26-11.pdf, they have Junkyard Challenge listed on the B Division side.

Maybe they'll change it to Mission Possible.

That is an error in the schedule. Junkyard is being replaced with Mission Possible.
