Re: Ball bouncing out of the high Goal

Not quite - a boulder got stuck on swinging chains in the high goal. From my vantage point at the scoring table, it looked like a couple of the chains swung together and almost cradled the boulder by wrapping around it - either way, it was pretty stuck. A field resetter tried to dislodge the boulder with a pole, but unfortunately the boulder fell back into the field, requiring the match to be stopped.
