[ALIBI]

A HURDLE occurs when a TRACKBALL passes over your alliances overpass. It does not say that the trackball must first be elevated so that the top of the trackball is above the lane divider. Launching from the floor should count.

HURDLING: Must be in home stretch. Must be in possession of trackball. Must be moving towards overpass "and/or" elevating trackball so that the top of the trackball is above the lane divider.

To be considered in the process of hurdling and protected by G42, you must: be in your home stretch and posses a trackball no matter what. The "and/or" can be one of two things or both:

1: moving towards the overpass (trackball does not have to be elevated)
2: the trackball is elevated so that the top of the trackball is above the lane divider (you do not necessarily need to be moving towards the overpass)

It seems like you could be given protection of rule G42 when you are setting up placing a trackball on the overpass, who knows if you are passing or placing, as long as the top of the trackball is above the lane divider.
