Re: Legal? Hurdling Over Overpass and Over Lane Divider
According to everything I read and the rules this is legal under two conditions.

1) The ball must cross the overpass AND the finish line.
2) The ball must pass the opponents start/finish line before scoring again.

Thus, if the ball is thrown from the middle of the track on a diagonal and it cross the overpass, start/finish line, and lane divider this still counts +8. A team mate can be waiting on the other side to herd the ball back around.

If an alliance has two fast-hurdling bots running 180-degrees apart, the scoring can be significant.
