Between 6 and 14 seconds on this video it sure seems like something is connecting the bottom edge of the chains to each other. They move together like a curtain. If they were not connected at the bottom I would expect the strands to fly in opposite directions from the initial point of contact with the disc. The bottom edge is free from the box, but has limited freedom from the neighboring strands.
At 1:31 I can see that the strands separate enough for a disc to pass bewteen them, but the bottom of the chains do not whip apart as they should if they were truly free from each other.
Of course if no one at the scrimmage can confirm this set-up it must be my own imagination run a muck.
