Start and finish
Before you start. Last checked 3 Nov 2026.
Make your first point on the tip of the green pin. Make your last point on the tip of the red pin. Zoom in for both.
Never draw from red to green. A route drawn backwards scores 0.
Don't overshoot. Stop on the red pin: any line past it is still marked.
Look for dead ends near the finish. The red pin may sit on a street you can only enter from one end.
If you drew a helper line to plan, Clear it before you draw your route.
