Depth of the High and Low Goals..limit to # of disks per goal
 

Has anyone noticed that all of the Goals have very shallow boxes for the discs to fall in. They are somewhere around 4" deep.
The 2 point goals appears that it may be deeper depending on which drawing you look at.

This may not seem important but 4 disks stacked perfectly are about 4" thick
This would mean that there is a limit to the number of disks that can be scored in the high goal (somewhere around 20 or so) before they will start falling out... it may even be a smaller number.
(approximately 4 disks across and 4 thick +/- a disk)

This is also true for the large 1 point goals... shallow box to keep the disks in.

I am looking at the arena drawings and not the team drawings.

In a given game you could score 50 disks possibly...(ok I know that in most games that won't happen. but) If teams attempt to hit the three point goal it is certainly conceivable that it will fill up.

Can someone take a look at this and prove me wrong please???

Nope, you are correct. There seems to be a conceivable limit to the number of Discs a goal can comfortably hold, and it is quite possible that limit can be reached rather quickly over a 2 minute game.

this video really shows how deep the goals truely are. I dont see a high potential for the goal to completly fill.

The video shows that there is actually an open area where the frisbees land. Comparing it to the middle goals, it seems that the high goal should actually be closed, giving it as little amount of space as the middles goals show. Can anyone confirm this?

A good way to see what I'm talking about is to pause at 2:37 in the video.

I see what you're saying and I do not know the answer to that question. If the goal is really that shallow, I fear that not all the discs will go completely in and there will be a disc half in and half out and that will affect the weight I'm sensing scoring devices.

There are 14 frisbees and what looks like plenty of room left in the bin in this photo. I don't see a game where more than 30 are scored in the 3 point goal (2 decent shooters with high accuracy loading up - ie likely driving the length of the field three times and only missing 1/16 frisbees) Given the accuracy in Aim High where if I remember right you could carry as many balls as you wanted, I can't say I'm terribly concerned. I heard a rumor that the goals were all tested (at least weight sensor wise) for 120 frisbees. So I would have to imagine there is some way for them to fit in there (whether the last 20 bounce out or not, I dont think we have to worry about)

But say that a frisbee that actually went into the goal fell out. What would happen? Would it be called a field error like in Rebound Rumble?

Unfortunately, in that video, the blue 3 point goal did not have the floor installed. Evidently it had been take out to have easier access to get the frisbess out. It does not truly reflect the size of the tray of the goal.

I guess we shall see later. It is too bad that no one outside the east coast could get to see a real field.

Thank you everyone for posting your videos and pictures of the field. It really helps the rest of us get a feel for the game.

Points are counted after the match is over, not when a frisbee goes into a goal. If a disc isn't in a goal at the end of the match, then it won't be counted for points even if it had previously entered a goal.
