Aluminum Construction
Only aluminum materials are used by Scoremaster.

 

 Aluminum is 1/3 the weight of steel. It will not corrode and has lower maintenance with a longer life expectancy. Heavy steel pipe or tubing goals are unsafe. Steel goals rust.
Special shapes and alloys are designed with thicker material in high stress areas and thin material where strength is not needed.

 

 Design strength where required, reduced weight, stability and rigidity. Custom shapes have smooth round shapes, which will not cause injuries. Standard pipe and tubing are not engineered for goal construction. Square tubing (even with round corners) presents an edge which will cause injury to players.
Special aluminum materials and engineered design keep weight to a minimum.
Low weight goals are easily handled which reduces risk of injury and field damage while being moved or assembled. Heavy goals need wheels or special equipment to be moved cause injury if they tip over.
Profile on bottom of goal net racks and rear cross bars.
Smooth profile allows goals to be moved easily for storage or for field maintenance.
Standard round and square tubing do not slide easily on turf and cause damage. Grounds staff cannot move goals without special equipment.
All Scoremaster corner joints are mitered at 45 degrees. The only connection, which is not mitered, is the upper net rack connection. It is reinforced with a reinforcing plate that doubles the material thickness under the weld.
Mitered joints hare stronger, have a better appearance and are smoother for safety. The smooth intersections between the lower portion of the net rack and the goal uprights and rear cross bars makes the goal very easy to move as there are no sharp corners to dig into the field.
Ordinary round or square pipe net racks, which are butted into the goal uprights. This is the method used by almost all other goal manufactures. It is not as strong and safe as mitered joints. Net racks with butt joints have sharp irregular corners, which dig into the field and make the goals difficult to move for storage or maintenance.
Scoremaster's rear cross bar is designed with the same type of material and slip joints as the front cross bar. It is not an add on or afterthought - it is designed as part of goal
Rear cross bar adds immense strength to the goal.
The extra weight of the rear cross bar counterbalances the front cross bar so goals will not tip over even if moorings fail or are not installed.
Flimsy pipe or square tube rear crossbars are prone to vandalism and offer no additional strength or counterbalancing effect to the goals.
Single bolt connections used by most manufactures do not add strength to the goal structure.
Scoremaster mounts it's cross bars right at the back of the net rack.
The further back the cross bar the greater the counterbalancing effect.
Rear crossbars, which are not mounted at the extreme rearmost edge of the net
rack, do not offer adequate counterbalancing of the goal.
Net racks are deeper than the goals are high.
Moves the center of gravity rearward counterbalancing the front of the goal and provides more room for the players.
Shallow net racks do not counterbalance the goal front or provide a large footprint, which adds stability.
Shallow net racks can interfere with players.
Oval Tube Net Racks
Special 2"x3" oval tube shape.
Large oval shape has smooth round edges.
Horizontal stability at the weld joint of the net rack is many times stronger than a joint designed with standard tube or pipe.
Standard tube and pipe net racks are not as strong and have sharper edges which can injure players.
Stainless steel net fasteners are recessed into the rear of the goal.
Net fasteners are smooth and cannot harm players.
They are permanently attached so they cannot get lost.
Metal hooks or hard plastic fasteners have sharp shapes and are not flush with goal surface and will cause injuries.
Metal hooks have been known to rip off fingers and cause lacerations.
Fasteners can get lost.
All fasteners are recessed and hidden.
No protruding bolts or fasteners prevent injuries from collisions.
Protruding bolt heads can injure players.
Special hollow point Allen screws require a special wrench shipped with Scoremaster goals.
As a security feature goals can only be taken apart by authorized persons.
Standard fasteners can be taken apart by anyone with a screwdriver or crescent wrench.
Scoremaster uses only Aerospace quality digital TIG welding.
Tighter quality controls, stronger welds and better appearance.
Lighter weight materials cannot be successfully welded any other way.
All other goal manufacturers use MIG welding. It is a less costly process but limits the use of materials and does not produce a strong connection.
MIG Welding is prone to cracking.
Grinding of welds is not acceptable.
Goal ends are welded solid.
Welding is stronger, vandal resistant, has better appearance and is easier to assemble.
Weak bolt-together goal ends with socket joints can work loose and are not as rigid as welding.
Vandals can remove bolts.
White baked-on powder coat finish
 
The best protective coating available for visibility, low maintenance, beautiful appearance and weathering protection.
Conventional spray or brush paint paints are not as hard and do not bond to the surface as well as powder coating.
Tempered steel ground spikes are standard equipment.
 
Easily installed ground anchor is more likely to get used.
Exclusive design is hard to pull out.
Z/Spikes work in a variety of ground conditions.
Hard to use anchoring systems with straight ground spikes are harder to install and do not offer the holding power of a Z/Spike.
5 year warranty, product documentation, extensive dealer support and internet support. Our sales are backed by the most experienced team of dealers in North America
Help is always there when the customer needs it.
No customer support, liability coverage or product training materials.
Scoremaster has 15 years of goal building experience and a dedicated engineering department.
 
Familiarity with potential problems and safety issues.
Extensive product testing.
Unproven designs.
Goal built by backyard shops, welding shops or maintenance facilities do not have the experience or engineering resources.
Most injuries and deaths have been attributed to goal posts built by unqualified manufacturers.
Scoremaster goals are built on precision jigs which maintain 100% consistency in the product.
All parts are interchangeable and replacement parts can be ordered. Scoremaster's engineering can integrate our goals into your current stock.
No brand name or specific design parts do not interchange. Poor adaptability.
Scoremaster is constructed to rigid in house quality control procedures in the spirit of ISO9000.
To maintain high quality and product consistency.
No quality control systems in place.

Scoremaster is the number one choice.
