Redirecting with an inclined top

[Tom I]

Well just in general having a sloped top is not illegal, I would love to see them try to come up with a rule against it. but deliberately using it to bounce balls back into your alliance zone probably shouldn't be an issue either. my expectations is no one would park under a return drop off, so it shouldn't be a problem if you do it occasionally.

Also, keep in mind, if you use this as a strategy, its also very easy to do the same with the other team's return, just deflecting them towards yours!
