Royal Road Scoring Game

Each team places two shooters on the sides of the circles and two players into the game.
The shooters must not move while the other players have freedom to play 2v2 in the entire game area.
Teams must get the puck to their shooters and shots on net can only come from a pass across the royal road.
On the change over the shooters move into the 2v2 portion of the game and each team places new shooters on the circles.
