rule question on scoring above overpass

[EricRobodox]

Im a little bit confused here. Because if you can touch the ball while hurdling, would you still get the points if you threw the ball, it passed the over pass and the finish line, but then happens to bounce off you after you had crossed the line. I would think the rule was created so you have to let it hit the ground after the hurdle, or another robot; this way no robot can just continuously hold the trackball.

I just hope they notice that a lot of teams will hurdle the ball, drive forward, and then realize that the ball they threw is going to land on top of themselves, making the hurdle invalid, even though it is obvious their intention was not to catch the ball but merely cross the line.
