Smile Re: [FTC]: Center goal measured from bottom of tube or playing field?

My team and I just had a hardcore brainstorm session and after reading the rules thoroughly, came to the conclusion that points scored in the center tube is only counted from the bottom of the tube to the upper most ball within that tube.

The game manual under the glossary section states:

Ball Height – The measurement from the bottom of the Ball Tube to the top of the uppermost Ball in the Ball Tube, i.e.
the height of the stack of Balls in the Ball Tube. This is used when calculating the Score for a Goal.

Hope this helps!
