Re: Team 665 Fan/s and More

i got the rule that states you can't de-score game pieces already in the trailer.

Quote:
<G25.1> De-scoring GAME PIECES – Once a GAME PIECE has been SCORED, it may not be intentionally de-scored (e.g. removed from the TRAILER). De-scoring a GAME PIECE will cause a PENALTY to be assigned. At the end of the match, any intentionally de-scored GAME PIECES will be considered SCORED as originally placed. GAME PIECES that are knocked free from tenuous placements as a result of normal game interactions (e.g. a GAME PIECE on top of a pile of MOON ROCKS that completely fill a TRAILER falls off when the TRAILER is bumped) will not be penalized.
also i think you should angle the fan slightly so it provides some extra downward force and it would probably help to deflect the balls better then putting the fan horizontal because the balls would practically be in the trailer by the time it hits the wind from the horizontal fan while the angled fan should hit the ball while it is still further up and more of a chance to stop it from going in since the balls are mainly going to be lobbed in.
