How to approach it
Work through sport families rather than trying to recall one famous example. Begin with the big ball games, then move to target sports, cue and table games, athletic field events, combat disciplines, and the long tail of traditional pastimes played in villages, courtyards, and schoolyards. For each family, ask what the scoring action is directed at: a raised circle, a marked patch of ground, a small object on a stand, a line judged by an official. Note that many sports have several such things at once, a scoring device beside a decoy or a defender, and only the first belongs on the list. Jot down every candidate in plain language, preferring names tied to one single game over generic words, because the precise and unfamiliar earn the most.
Get a hint
Start with the widest possible field: every sport that has a scoring action, including minority, traditional and indoor games played in a single room or on a patch of grass.
A little more
Then narrow by function rather than by shape: what matters is that players deliberately send the ball, projectile, or their own body toward the thing in order to score.
One step further
Finally check whether the candidate is a physical object, a marked surface, or a reference that officials judge; the rarer regional names tend to be worth the most.

Why these answers count
The reveal is top-heavy and oddly flat at the same time: 189 recorded answers reached at least sixty points, yet only one of them touched the maximum, and the rest bunch into two tight bands. Dedans at 100 shows how far a single recondite term can travel, since very few players could have produced a word from such a specialised court game. The eighty-five tier is crowded with precise but half-familiar labels: 12 ring, Disc golf basket, Bowling pocket, Crokinole scoring rings. Each names one exact feature of one exact game, so the answer reads as earned knowledge rather than a hopeful guess. At sixty sit eighteen answers, the floor of the paid band, and these look like the obvious, broadly shared targets that thousands of casual players would write down first. The pattern is consistent throughout: obscurity is the currency. A famous target gets credit for being right, while a name that only an enthusiast could supply is treated as proof of depth and paid accordingly.
