    Default The ball

    Does the ball have a standard PSI?



    If a ball stays on the overpass from the start of the match and remains there until the end of the match, do we get the bonus points from the ball remaining on top of the overpass during the entire match?



    If an opponent places a ball on their overpass, and we knock it over forward, do they get the 8 points for the ball hurdling?

    There is not a specific inflation pressure for the Trackballs. For the competitions, they will be inflated to size. Instructions for properly inflating the Trackballs can be found in Section 10.2.8.1 of the Manual.

    If a Trackball is on the Overpass at the end of the Match (within the constraints specified in Rule <G14>), it will earn a 12-point bonus - regardless of whether it has been there for the entire Match or not.

    Knocking an opponent's Trackball off the Overpass before the end of the Match would prevent them from collecting the 12-point bonus. But if the Trackball is knocked "forward" and as a result it completes a Hurdle, then the opponent will receive 8 points.
