LANE MARKER or FINISH LINE) when it is projected vertically upwards. A TRACKBALL or
ROBOT shall have CROSSED a line when all parts of the object, while traveling in a counter-
clockwise direction, have completely passed through the plane.
It appears that your arm placement relative to the finish line is irrelevant when hurdling (as long as you follow the other rules).

That's true. But then we have

<G11> Each TRACKBALL that HURDLES its own FINISH LINE will earn 8 points (2 points for CROSSING the FINISH LINE – re Rule <G10> - and a 6 point bonus, yielding 8 points total).

Does that imply a valid "CROSS" must be done to get the 2 points? Another question when Q&A gets up.
