I just watched it again. I think the HP on 118 throw is perfectly legal. The only thing i am is jealous lol.

Questionable. It looked like a corner went over the top while the rest went over the "around the side" area. I don't think a corner over the top quite counts as being over the top. That's one that could go either way.

At 42 seconds, try to get the tube showing up as it goes past the wall. That looks a lot more legal; there's wall on both sides. Admittedly it's awful close to the top of the wall, but still has a lot of carry.

If I was a referee, I'd issue a caution or maybe a penalty on the first throw and nothing on the second throw. Note that I'm not a referee.

The throwing style doesn't matter. What matters is going over the top of the station (or through the slot), not around the side of the wall, and getting the tube to where it needs to be without somebody on the other alliance intercepting. How you do that is up to you.
