I imagine that teams may have trouble with traction due to the batten material.

I haven't seen an official pinning definition in the Q&A yet. Does it count as a pin to just park there and hold them if we don't initiate contact?

I'd like to know this as well.

Off topic, but why do people keep calling the Batter, Battens? Us the Batter similar to ship battens or something like that?

Answered, and as most of us expected, will be pinning.
