Balls trapped under the bridge decided many matches. It's a bummer, and short of a change to the deflector that FIRST is likely unwilling to make, it's going to be a common one.
It's water under the bridge at this point [pun intended] but having
just losing in the semis in Hatboro-Horsham due to this issue,
I have to agree. If you look at the original bride video here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AMaq...eature=related

the big difference between the video and the actual field was the polycarb sheet sagged badly. It not even close to a flat sheet as shown in the
video and was ineffective in having balls roll back out.

It would be an egregious violation of the rules and gracious professionalism,
but an effective strategy would be for inbounders to 'accidentally'
send balls under an opponents bridge...
