2005 was to get the entire alliance back to the home zone. Only problem was that it was the ENTIRE alliance for 10 points... which could be gotten more easily by making a row somewhere else on the field for 13 points. I don't remember a single case where the end game was awarded.

It seems hard to accidentally entangle yourself in a field element, so they most likely wouldn't have included this if they weren't planning on some sort of endgame.
Easier than you might think. Maybe a goalie gets excited under the truss while on a harassment run to the other side, extends their pole and... Or runs into the small goal... Or... You get the picture. I've seen a lot of these games, and in most of them it's not hard to get snarled.
