The green balls constantly bounces out of the field perimeter when rolling down from the drop zone. This is a problem for the head ref who has to keep chasing the balls mid-match and loading them into the field.
Is it acceptable to place a barrier on the outside of the field perimeter, flush against the PVC pipe as shown in the image below? The red mark represents the barrier that will be placed on the outside perimeter.

Yes, it is acceptable to place a barrier along the outside perimeter of the field, provided that all Teamwork Fields in the competition have the same setup and options available.
The GDC recommends using a low barrier that will not obstruct the view of the referee or audience, nor interfere with the drone’s movement. Clear materials, such as a clear box or acrylic frames, are preferred to maintain visibility.
Below is an example using 7X5 frames from the Dollar Store.
