Yes, that is the case. Its a mix of that, and balls rolling out of the field and volunteers not knowing what to do with them, wasting valuable match time asking a ref what to do/just standing there.

At least at Hatboro, matches were being paused quite a bit. With a game like this, I think its a good thing to get it right instead of just letting the alliance go, unable to score.

Again though, Why can't we just insert the balls where they left the field?? Its much simpler then having to track down the nearest HP and run halfway across the field.

BALLS that are ejected from gameplay during a MATCH will be delivered to the closest HUMAN PLAYER of that BALL’S ALLIANCE by event staff at the next safe opportunity. This includes BALLS that go in GOALS but don’t meet the criteria to be considered SCORED.

This is silly and wastes time leaving an entire alliance with no way of advancing their score.
