I disagree.

In 2012, the net and following lexan were responsible for moving the balls out of play quickly and allowing more balls to be scored. If the net was jammed, then the field was not functioning properly.

The truss is responsible for sitting there and being a truss. If it stops sitting there or being a truss and it affects the match, a field fault should be called.

If a ball gets stuck on the truss because the truss sat there and stayed a truss, it is not a field fault.
