In a practice match at an event (I think it was L.A.), 60 challenged 330 to move them and their two goals. 330's third goal grabber (an angled piece of aluminum with notches for the poles of the goal) hit the floor, and 60 ended up against their own player station wall, goals and all.
They didn't play each other at all during the matches that counted, though.
