The balls were jammed in the goal 2 wide by 2+ high in a matter of several seconds. I thought a dump truck had unloaded 25-30 poof balls into the goal. What I had was more like an anxiety attack  because it seemed to take forever to get the balls moving down the chute. Balls were being tallied well after the match had ended. In the process of pushing the mass of balls, I managed to knock one of the balls out of the goal, but the scorers and referees were aware of this and counted the escapee.
The matches in the elimination round were just incredible - better than at the Championships and GTR. It was a blast to be right there in the mix.
