Hurdle Question

Rule <G11> states "Each TRACKBALL that HURDLES its own FINISH LINE will earn 8 points (2 points for CROSSING the FINISH LINE - re Rule <G10> - and a 6 point bonus, yielding 8 points total)."

This gives the impression that hurdling a ball is only worth 8 points, and then on the very next page of the Game section of the manual, page 6. There is a chart which specifically states that the trackball hurdling the overpass is 8 points, not 6.

clarification?

It's been clarified (simplified) in Update 1. Please be sure you are always reading the most current version of the manual.

Re: Hurdle Question

Herding the ball under the overpass is worth 2 points, hurdling it over is worth the same 2 points plus the bonus of 6 points, for a total of 8 points.

If the ball goes over the overpass, it also goes over the finish line.
