Pool Noodles in Tower
At the Central Washington District event there are pool noodles taped inside the high goals of the tower. I assume this is to keep balls from getting stuck there. Are any other events doing this?

Seems like a ball just getting to the lower edge might be rejected where it would not be without the noodles there.

Good news is it's usually pretty visible. Haven't seen the noodles though (at least, not there...) |

Poking stuck balls out isn't a big deal (was not uncommon in 2012), but rejected balls are. |

I don't know if these were around at Northern Lights, but there was a field reset person on each side with a large pole that I saw them using to knock boulders down a few times. Not sure exactly how that was achieved with the whole encased in polycarb thing.

There are actually two panels that back the top of the castle. It's possible to reach between the panels with the defense tow hook and move balls into the counting chute.

At SCH, there is a volunteer by both towers with a stick that they put through the slits to free any caught boulders. It looked like it was working pretty well.
