HURDLE: When a TRACKBALL CROSSES a FINISH LINE while passing above the OVERPASS and then contacts either the floor or another ROBOT before re-contacting the originating ROBOT.

Deleting the Ref. to R10 from R11 means you can stay in contact with the ball while hurdling. Looking at the definition of Hurdle am I right to state the following:

The definition says to be a hurdle, the trackball must contact the floor or another robot before re-contacting the originating robot, you still have to let go of the trackball before, during or after the trackball completely crosses the plane of the finish line to count, it is just that now you do not have to be concerned about when you let it go (penalty/point wise). EDIT: you can not have the trackball completely pass the finish line, pull it back into you home stretch, drop the ball on the floor and quickly regain control, provided your robot doesn't completely enter the next quad.

And I have another question:

Lets say that my trackball passes my opponents finish line and somehow or another moves clockwise back into the quad between the home stretches, as long as I do not break the plane of the finish line, can I hurdle in a cockwise direction and then say have an alliance partner place the trackball on the overpass from my home stretch?
