2032: Clarification on Ball Transfer Between Loaders During a Match
In a regular match with two loaders, is it legal for one loader to retrieve balls from the pickup zone and then throw them to the other loader in the loading zone to reintroduce them back into the field? We could not find any rules in the game manual that prohibit this action.
Answered by committee
Currently, there are no rules that prohibit throwing Balls from one Loader to another in a safe and controlled manner. Rules <S1> and <G3> apply. As we progress through the season we will monitor feedback regarding thrown Balls, and we may re-evaluate this topic if it proves to be unsafe or undesirable.
