The definition of "hurdle" is "passing over the overpass" (no pun intended)  .
So the opposition would have no chance of knocking over the ball because it must completely go over the overpass, not rest on it.
You might be thinking of the ending, when Alliances receive 12 points per ball resting on the overpass at the end of the match. In this case, they can knock it down, thus preventing you from scoring, but not receiving any points themselves. |
So therefore; resting the trackball on the overpass, then pushing it over yourself is not a legal maneuver for a hurdle?
And yes, I was referencing the ending; you place the trackball on the overpass, hoping to get 12 points at the end of the match. The other alliance descores it, but you get 8 points for a completed hurdle, after all, the trackball did pass completely over the overpass
, is this a correct interpretation?
