Hoop? What hoop? There's a hoop on the field? Please use the proper terminology. (In this case, I believe that would be "goal".)


Please, please, please read the Manual. Pay special attention to any references to "cycle" and "pedestal".

Spoiler for GO READ THE MANUAL:

For those that can't take the time to use Ctrl-F on the Manual (I won't express my opinion on them), the human players inbound the ball. After a ball goes through the goal, it is retrieved by field personnel (from Kickoff broadcast) and placed on the Pedestal if that is open. The ball is picked up from there by the human players and inbounded (multiple rules).
