Re: how to throw tubes

I agree, it should be asked to the Q&A.
Quote:
<G57> During the TELEOPERATED PERIOD, FEEDERS may enter LOGO PIECES onto the FIELD by using the FEEDING SLOTS or by throwing the LOGO PIECE over the top of the FEEDER STATION wall. LOGO PIECES may not be thrown around the side of the FEEDER STATION wall. Violation: PENALTY
Does "over the top" mean at least 6.5 feet in the air? Then we're OK. Does "may not be thrown around the side" mean below 6.5 feet in the air, hooked around the end of the WALL? Then these throws are still OK.

It's questionable if the rule means the tube cannot ever be outside the vertical projection of the edge of the STATION WALL, even if the tube is higher than the WALL. That's what has to be determined.

My advice? Without a definitive ruling of what "around the side" means, make it obvious that the tube goes "over the top". Don't make questionable throws.
