Pinning opponents TRACKBALL

[popo308]

Hey, are team was wondering if it was legal to pin the other teams TRACKBALL against the wall while still allowing a passing lane (6 second rule for moving does not apply)

I have looked all over the manual and have not found anything on this matter.

If i had overlooked anything or if anyone knows anything about this any info would be much appreciated. (if it is in the manual please quote what section)


THANKS!

From what i understand, you can hangout in any part of the field as long as there is a "passing lane." There isn't anything that i've read that says that possessing another alliances ball is against the rules either.

Yes, there is.

Ok thanks. Mainly we were just curious about not holding it but pushing it into a corner or wall. I thought i had seen that thread somewhere but i could not find it again to clarify that.... Thanks for the link!


GOOD LUCK!
