I'd expect that if a beach ball originated from the stands and gets to the floor, it'd be confiscated. But if the MC, a judge or VIP tossed a beach ball into the stands from the floor during a timeout or field reset, there wouldn't be too much fuss.

If the rule means that beach balls are no more, that's a small price to pay to get rid of the paper airplanes. And to everyone that threw a paper airplane in the past: that is why we can't have nice things.
