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!
