How does descoring work?

Any motion that caused you to break the plane of that line from there would have to be clockwise in nature.

Hope you're not getting too worked up, just thinking in a lot of directions and not spent a lot of time arond the rules. You're definitely right there. We might be limited to the bottom of the ball, going to figure out how low it hangs in a second.

Another thought though -- what if they intended for it to be a penalized process? If you want to get your second ball into play, you have to gamble the points?
