Re: pic: LIFE SUCKS
Looks like a viable ball hording strategy

Re: pic: LIFE SUCKS
At Waterford this past weekend, one match was replayed due to a jammed net (two balls) that was not cleared quickly enough by the field volunteer. The Head Ref made the call to replay after a shot entered the jammed net and bounced back out. I think the official language for this is "Arena fault" (see [T25]).

This happened at the Hatboro-Horsham district event in the finals. There were a total of 5 balls stuck in the net after auto mode, the match was stopped and replayed due an "Arena fault". The alliance was 357, 2016, and 708.

Bahrat did that at Alamo when 118 got balls stuck. He was trying to free up the balls and 118 came back and put more in. |

Re: pic: LIFE SUCKS
I read that the volunteers were supposed to be poking the balls if they got stuck... is that not true?

We had a ball hang up happen to us during the elims as well. We lost the match by 3 points.

Re: pic: LIFE SUCKS
At Chesapeake, as a field reset, I was specifically given a big stick and told to poke any ball jams in the tubes.

Ultimately there was no way the basket was going to be cleared in a timely manner hence the arena fault and match replay. |

Re: pic: LIFE SUCKS
Two balls got stuck in the net in Florida this weekend, and by the time the pokey stick cleared the balls, it wasn't autonomus any more, so they just refigured the score.

Re: pic: LIFE SUCKS
I was the holder of the Ball Poker Stick (official FIRST language regarding that piece of PVC) at FLR. The rules as I was told, is that the balls MUST be unstuck when that occurs. If a basketball were to enter a hoop stuffed with basketballs and that ball were to bounce out, it would be considered a failure of the field and the game would get the foghorn and be replayed. While it never happened at FLR, I had to stand there in the Red Alliance player station all day to make sure if it happened, I'd be the one to unstuck those basketballs.

According to Kate Pilotte the PVC stick is called the "plunger". Appropriate I think.
