Complete a full 360 swing by bringing the mace behind your back, over your head, and back to the start. Each completed 360 swing counts as one point.
The mace must remain in your control at all times. A drop or release resets your count to zero.
You may switch hands, but the mace must remain in constant motion. Complete your swings within the designated time frame.
