Hmm. In cases of unrestrained motion, the trackball positions are scored based upon where they do finally come to rest, not where they are when the clock reaches zero. If BMR was scoring all trackballs based upon where they were when the clock reached zero, that was incorrect based upon Team Update #13, which resulted in rule G14 being updated as follows:

If a TRACKBALL is in unrestrained motion (i.e. not in contact with a Robot) when the clock reaches zero, its contribution to the score will be based on when it comes to rest.
