The gate does stay down. However, I think you could actually place the ball right on the gate. The gate looks to be be parallel with the floor and not angled down (like it probably should). This issue caused problems at the BAE regional, a volunteer would have to shake a support pole violently to try to get stuck balls to fall onto the playing field.
