An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.

The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
