Anyway, to answer your demand, I draw from your own assertions for an example. If you hurdle over the lane divider, then you would have to go half-way around the field to go collect it, wouldn't you? Don't expect it to still be waiting there for you, BTW.
Suppose we are all alone in the quadrant before our home zone and we are ready to hurdle. Sitting right in front of us with no one around is another trackball. Why not launch over the lane divider and quickly grab the other trackball? Suppose it is the last few seconds of the match and either we do not have the time to get back to our home zone, or there is a massive pileup preventing us from getting all the way around. Sounds like a good time to launch. My point is that if we chose to launch over the lane divider, we would probably not be concerned with getting the trackball back. I doubt if this will ever happen during a match except for the massive pileup possibility.
