Re: Can you hurdle the Trackball's backward?

This will need to be put to the Q&A, but here's what we discussed in another thread.

<G13> A TRACKBALL that has CROSSED its own FINISH LINE must CROSS the opponent’s FINISH LINE before it can score by CROSSING its own FINISH LINE again.
HURDLING includes CROSSING, so I would like to think that you can't score multiple times, but it's not unreasonable to interpret that you would get eight points for the first hurdle, and six for each one after that (points for the HURDLE, but not the CROSSING). We'll find out in an early update, I'm sure.
