Does that mean that if we plan on possessing the track ball that we would have to herd it or hurdle it over the finish line to score, or could we just keep possessing it and make laps? |
The answer is found in the quoted rule. Not in contact means not in contact. Possession involves contact. You cannot keep the trackball in possession and make laps (well, you could, but you'd only get two points per lap instead of four). Hurdling: You could hold the trackball while you cross the line there, but you must release. The reference to <G10> in the hurdling rule has been deleted.
