Brian, I've also seen the same thing. One ball on either side of the center spot when there are Two Balls, The center spot is filled when there are three, a Diamond pattern when there are four and so on.... But I did notice that Some events, primarily on the west coast like to make a sort of 'Ball Blob' when there are more than 4 balls, they're just sort of placed on the bridge in a pile.
