Caution: Keep your hands out of the ball counters!

[MarcD79]

Here is a little clarification on the Ball counter issue. As is said in the above post, you can use the back end of the trident to unclog the balls. BUT, the official way to do it is to slide it in between the top Lexan cover & the backing of the goal. Under no circumstances should you try to poke from the counter side. This will deduct points. As was said before. Until the ball rolls through the counter, the Dogma error timer will not start. You have 11 seconds to return the ball through the return counter for the 1st ball, then 4 seconds thereafter if multiple balls are counted. There is an algorithm to determine the points penalties assigned if more than one ball & how long it takes to return ball(s).

That said, the human player does have to pay attention to both goals , as well as the human player who retrieves those balls from the goals. I witnessed many HP's & trident attendant not paying attention to returning the balls, resulting in large penalties, even after the counter buzzes zero! YOU must return the counted balls through the return counter, even after the match has ended!

Oh by the way, I was FTAA in Connecticut & saw this first-hand. Please read the rules.
