I guess clarification is needed relative to "passing above the overpass".

It doesn't say "above, without touching", and it doesn't say "over, without touching". It just says above the overpass.

I believe the use of "above" is meant to differentiate from the other means of scoring - "below" the overpass.

It all cases the ball must "cross" the finish line - meaning not stop, or partially cross the line - it means entirely cross the line.

What I was getting at is, assuming the ball can touch the overpass structure, the ball could momentarily get held up and settle in one of the openings instead of continuing to roll or bounce across the finish line (all in one motion). I was simply stating that in order to clearly define it, if the ball breaks the plane of the finish line and continues to move such that it crosses the finish line, I would assume it will be counted as "hurdling" the over pass. A ball that starts across and then doesn't make it all the way across before stopping or going in a different non-forward direction, would not have "crossed" the finish line - therefore, it would not be awarded "hurdling" points.

Again - this is just my opinion and I am anxiously waiting for clarification.
As I said, before - If someone asks, this will be officially explained in the Q&A by FIRST.
