Re: 2x multiplier removal secnario

Okay, to recap this, let me explain two different scenarios that are based on the situation I see.

1.) FIRST keeps the ruling they have. Red alliance shoves ball down Blue Goal. At the end of the match, Red alliance uncaps blue goal, descoring all the small balls. Legal way to descore.
FIRST Intent: Unacceptable

2.) FIRST updates the rule to make it illegal to remove small balls from the goals even through uncapping. Red alliance jams 2x multiplier to bottom of goal. Now they have a guarenteed 2x because blue may not uncap that goal anymore.

The only possible scenario I see, which is insanely hard to referee, would be to count any small ball that went into the goal to be counted, and if it is removed by action of uncapping, it will still be counted towards final score. This raises another problem, but is less major. (The problem of, for every ball removed, theres space for another one yadda yadda yadda...). My dilemma continues.
