The curved bit on the part between the two poles suggest that there is an allowance for something round to pass above it, so it works quite well logically.
Excellent idea. If the bracket were actually on the bottom, and attached to a 2x4 or other support, and the posts on the ends were used to attached to other poles, you could make an elevated raceway or track for balls to roll on. The goal could be place balls on the raceway, push them around the track, remove balls of a certain color, or something like that.
