that's a couple.


1> Incurs a 10 point penalty for breaking the plane of the finish line, but is possible to do.
2> Only if you throw the 'other ball'. But is legal.
3> You'll have about 1" of contact space ... not much there to hit.

Also you can:
4> Strike the portion of the ball that overhangs the finish line ... you'll have ~ 2-3" contact space there
5> Reach over from the other lane ... you'll need to make sure you don't violate the 80" cylinder rule or break the plane of the finish line.


EDIT --- ***Dang it Dave .... Why didn't you post yours before I started typing :P ***

This issue was resolved in Update #1 - I'm closing this one in order to clean up the number of posts no longer needed.
