A huge shout out to teams 1816, 6044, 93, and 4230 for contributing parts or tools to the effort. Without them, the volunteers couldn't have worked in this solution!

we got 20 point in fouls for those boulders because of an other hp, making us lose a rematch by 10 points. we won the original match 90ish to 40... what a way to end the day

Auburn Mountainview has just removed them.

A single Polycarbonate flap makes sense to me. Seems to resemble the original design Hanging from rings and limit the swing to 100 deg in both directions. I have also hear the polycarbonate was week on the defense's and need doubling up to prevent flexing.

Same call was just made at PNW Auburn Mountainview after all three low bar fabrics were ripped. The final destruction was pretty epic...ripped entirely in half, the lower bar and attached fabric ended up fully clear of the outer works.

Adding a new penalty for rolling balls too well does not make sense.
You can balance it out by allowing the opposing team to throw noodles into the secret passage.

^ Cobwebs. From Shelob.

Seeing what happened to 67 today at Waterford, giant spider webs could not have done worse.

With the right set of defenses on the field and a little bit of HP skill, it is already fairly straightforward (and legal) to bowl all the way into the courtyard.

Realistically though,it seems to me that teams that designed to go under one solid piece of fabric without sustaining damage or snags would be significantly better suited by a single polycarb flap than by a series of plastic strips or chain.

And this is why you should always place class A/C in position 2 when you want to win the match.

It's one of many good reasons to do that

For the readers who don't like exercise, group B defenses in slot 2 and an HP off the local bowling team will get you easy rolls into the courtyard.
