Re: Entering goal

From the Q&A

Q20 Q. If I put something into the low goal to drop Frisbee's into the goal is it considered leaving the field?

A. There are no Rules that prohibit breaking the plane of the LOW GOAL, however per Rule G12, ROBOTS may not contact anything outside the FIELD.

I suspect that if you contact the chains or the back of the goal you will draw a foul.

I looked for other questions about this and didn't find any. It is probably worth a Q&A about whether the chains are considered part of the field.
