What it looks like with the balls impaled on the posts. When this happens it looks like the trailers could hold a lot more.

Re: pic: Trailer with 19 impaled balls
Sorry, but could someone point out to me where in the manual it says that this does or does not count as scored balls?
Thanks.

By definition, each of these are SCORED.
When tossing the orbit balls onto the trailer, do they usually fall in the center or get impaled on the pipes?

Re: pic: Trailer with 19 impaled balls
Playing with these last night it seems to depend on how you throw the ball. I found an arced ball (such as in basketball) to go inside more easily than a ball thrown directly at the PVC walls (in an over-the-head fashion such as in soccer), however the direct shot seems more likely to impale the balls. This is simply my opinion and it may vary by person...either way I'm not a very good shot

After playing with this for a while, we have noticed that the balls bounce off the center post AND the outside posts pretty easily when they are thrown. It seems they score easier by placing them in the trailer.
