And yes, I was referencing the ending; you place the trackball on the overpass, hoping to get 12 points at the end of the match. The other alliance descores it, but you get 8 points for a completed hurdle, after all, the trackball did pass completely over the overpass , is this a correct interpretation?

Well, just to redefine hurdling here:
HURDLE: When a TRACKBALL CROSSES a FINISH LINE while passing above the OVERPASS and then contacts either the floor or another ROBOT before re-contacting the originating ROBOT.

The ball just has to "pass above" the overpass, so it would work to set it down on the overpass and then push it over.

I think that you have the interpretation right, just as long as they push your ball off over the finish line instead off backwards.
