On yet another occasion during the playoffs, an autonomous ball got caught in the side-netting near the goal. The referee pushed it out of the netting and it dropped onto the field and hit a ball that was rolling into the goal, preventing it from scoring.

It was just SO competitive out there that you noticed all the little wierd things because single points counted for so much.
I guess I must have. I do remember seeing referees and the camera people getting hit every now and then. Actually, I think we hit one of the refs in one of our matches.
