For goals, what the north americans do is either play 700c wheel height or, if the cones are a good size, top of the cones. This is far better, i think, than playing something like infinity (which is ridiculous) or head or shoulder height. After all, whose head or shoulder are we talking about? And we probably want to encourage low shots, as we don't want high mallets swinging all over the place.
So i strongly encourage wheel height or cone height.
Also, for the record, i think that the north american (and parisian) rule of giving the offense halfcourt is much better than allowing the defense to attack full court after the defense has tapped out. The half court rule makes things very clear. The offense can cross halfcourt after the defense taps out, and then defense cannot attack until the offense crosses halfcourt.
