I know this doesn't eliminate the ball but at least you know it's there.

This is the second time I've heard this on chiefdelphi (after the fact); however, no one on my team was ever told this. When was this decided, and why wasn't there some sort of drivers meeting to make sure everyone knew?

I can't complain too much about the results, but this could have been a game changer for my team, as we were largely a bridge bot.
