At 1:31 I can see that the strands separate enough for a disc to pass bewteen them, but the bottom of the chains do not whip apart as they should if they were truly free from each other.
Of course if no one at the scrimmage can confirm this set-up it must be my own imagination run a muck. |
I do not know if they have made the change you are pointing out, but our FTA told us that they have made multiple revisions to the field. I know one of them is that some kind of angled bars are being placed at the top of the goals to keep discs from being shot out the back of the goal when they enter at a high angle of attack.
