Re: Goal Scoring

The balls are scored as soon as they enter the goal. In the case of the center goal, they need to go all the way through the hoop, and down through the tube to count.

If they weren't scored real time, the score of every match would be 0, 5,10, or 25 to 0, 5, 10, or 25. All you'd do is empty every single one of your opponent's balls out of your player station, and try to get to the ramp.

The real question here is how are the balls going to be physically counted? I've heard sensors, and I've heard refs. Either way, it looks like it will be very hard to accurately count the number of balls. It's going to be very tough for a ref to count exactly how many balls are dumped into a goal when a robot comes up with a whole ton of them.
