In the game video, it implied that the points from the center goal could be worth up to 720 points because it already starts at 90 cm. Is the height of the balls scored during end game in the center goal measured from the base of the playing field or the base of the center goal?

The general speculation is that you get 6 points per cm above the base of the tube, meaning starting from 90 cm for the center tube. So while those points can add up, it doesn't start at 90 for one ball as is implied in the game video.

At least that seems to be the consensus reading from the game manual. We'll find out the official answer when the Game Forum opens up soon.

In particular, the middle rotation shown in the game video at 3:47 is NOT correct. Page 19 of the field setup guide states that the middle rotation should have one edge of the center structure parallel with the perimeter, resulting in a rotation more like 60deg and less like 45deg.

FYI, the GDC just reversed themselves and now the middle center structure rotation is 45 degrees. See this post for more information.

Yet the pictures on page 19 don't show a 45 degree angle. They need to sit down together and figure out what it actually is....

Use the drawings on page 29-Those are the right ones.
