I love this policy JVN. I think I will be adopting it for my team.

It honestly does look like the heel support portion of an adjustable ski binding...

My slalom ski is built nearly the same way, except square rails instead of a round tube....

All i can say is if this is a part of the field, they are following their tradition of making fields that are very expensive to replicate

Approximating the ball size assuming an 8in distance between poles and 1in pole diameter and allowing for a tolerance of 1/4 of an inch between the circular shape and the ball, optimal diameter should be approximately 9 inches. This is similar to the size of a soccer ball I made a prototype and it fits oddly well. Admittedly though I am a huge soccer fan and have been hoping for a soccer game for years.

I totally lol-ed when I read this.

Back on topic though, I think this is a field element - it almost looks like you could have to lift it up at the end of the match to get points or something like that. Or not?

I will pay generously for John's opinion of which individual person suggested this picture be used as the hint. No answers from JVN or anyone outside of team 148 will be accepted or rewarded.

Because of the Lexan/Smoked Polycarbonate part being mounted to the outside of the bars and the screws being recessed on only the inside, that leaves the useful area (during game play) of the piece as the space right between the bars. Which also accounts for the otherwise unnecessary seeming curved bit. And the hardware seems pretty heavy duty--I'm almost inclined to think it is scaled down.
