Well you are right, but holding it over the playing field would be like holding it halfway in the chute. I

It wouldn't be until the object was completely over the wall. That would qualify "in play", or until the robot touched it if it was half way over...

Otherwise, a person would not be able to put a scoring object into the chute halfway and pull it out.

I wouldn't have called this in Pittsburgh if I saw it unless the object actually went into play and the two people were from same team (which we actually called about 3 times)
