Re: My comments on shooters

I agree with the dangers point, but i also believe that that GDC will not make a rule to screw over a large amount of teams.

Quote:
Dad1279 There are only 4 balls in play. I would imagine that the refs(or spotters), probably 2 per side, could easily keep track of and stop or deflect the out of bounds balls.
I saw a picture of team 1501 ( I think ) hurlding a track ball and it made it about 5 feet over the overpass, that's about 12.5 feet from the center of the ball to the ground....
That could get pretty hard to block the balls if they head out of bounds.
