Rack and Roll would have required similar efforts to score vs. descore (at least thinking about it initially).
What are some possible scoring methods where descoring would be more difficult than scoring? Balls into a fixed tube? removing something that is latched onto something else?
Good point, another example -
In 2000 teams placed 13" diameter inflatable balls into "troughs" elevated 6 (or so) feet off the ground. It was relatively easy to put balls into these troughs, but more difficult to get balls out.
