Ball Throwing in Fueling Stations

[Mtg Ruler]

If a ball were shot and it went over the fueling station(so that it was completely in its boundries) and then went out of bounds, would the ball be then returned into the fueling station because thats where it was last before it went out of bounds, or would it be returned to the crater?

If you did that intentionally, the first thing to happen would be a penalty (<G20-C>). After that would depend on where the ball was when it exited. In this case, the fueling station would be the most likely spot (<G25>). However, this should probably be asked in Q&A.
