Re: Human player errors

Field reset is supposed to collect it and return it. How fast they are depends on a number of factors, like where they are, what's at the end of the field, etc.

Can you get it with the trident? If so, try that.

Will you have to leave the zone? If so, you will get a penalty.

If you leave the zone, will you be able to get back with the ball and get it up in the allotted time? If not, that's another penalty.

I'd say let it roll, let the resetters get it, and get a different ball up there pronto.

(BTW, this topic would probably be better in the Rules/Strategy subforum.)
