Yep, that is absolutely correct. The Definition of the end of the match is at the end of Teleoperated Period, when the timer shows zero <G02>. A trackball "capped" is considered capped when the match ends, or when the timer reaches zero <G14>. The Trackball bonus is awarded.

I think I accidentally voted wrong. I got the color of the ball confused...BlueAlliance Wins!
