Your game is surprisingly similar to the 1997 Canada FIRST competition. It had four quadrants separated by ramps with one goal in the middle for each quadrant plus one higher goal in the very centre for doubling, and more points for scoring your own colour balls, most of which were in the other quadrants.

My team (Team 188 from Toronto, Canada) has been in U.S. FIRST for the last three years but before that we were in Canada FIRST...1997 was my first year.

Then main problem with the game (and how we got screwed over) was that the goal was in a corner...it was therefore pretty easy to block. One team that made it to the quarterfinals with us decided to just block us the entire round because they knew perfectly well there was no way they could win the match (each match had four robots in it). You might want to design your field for easy access to the goals. Check out this site for a brief description of the game:
