Yes, I agree with the L-shaped idea, it is simple, but chances are you migth just knock it off
But, it's not worth brainstorming for hours and hours, and having another moving mechanism

Ask yourself....all that, is it worth the 10-points?
Depends on if you can gather and shoot more balls into goals.

I know if I see a ten point ball on the field, I'm going for it. Same amount of work to shoot a 5 or 10 point ball - but the 10 pointer is worth twice as much.

Add in a 2x multiplier, and it's worth 4 times as much.

Sounds worth it to me.
