Re: Suggestions for resolving stuck balls

Extra balls on the field are not a benefit in this game, as they only serve to disrupt an alliances rhythm, and present an obstacle to high-value objectives; if a ball gets stuck, reset the cycle, put a new one in play, and get on with the game.

Then you can have 3 teams running independant cycles on the same alliance, which could be advantagous in some cases, even giving up everything but goal points.
