I definitely agree with this. We've discovered a similar challenge with this scoring strategy and I feel that this is an obsurd limitation. Like you said, getting frisbees in that 5 point goal is not trivial (it is, in fact, the most difficult goal to score in). Having another limitation to the effectiveness of tackling the toughest of challenges, head on, seems counter intuitive to say the least. Hopefully, a rule update will be released prior to competition that remedies this.

All-in-all, great design, guys! Very impressive, and good luck at the competitions!
