How to take bonus points?
A maximum of six players are needed in the opposition team to make the bonus point active .
The raiding team gets one point if the raider crosses the bonus line in the opposition map.
One of the player’s legs should cross the bonus line and the other leg should be in the air.
Even if the raid is not successful and the raider crosses the bonus line, the raiding team gets the point.
Bonus line is the second black line on both sides of the mat.
Typically, raiders target corners and covers to create a space in the defense and then utilize their reach and speed to take a very rapid bonus from the gap. To take a bonus point needs precision and expertise and is considered as a difficult task.
One thing that is to be kept in mind is that the bonus point does not revive the player.
