With this new rule, what is the consensus for balls that come off the drop zone on the left side of the field (assuming you’re at the pilot station), and bounce out? Should they be placed in play against the pvc barrier pipe? Or tossed into the field?
The right side of the field the ball just comes back into play for the 3 point count correct?
Regardless of which side of the field it occurs on, any ball that rolls or bounces out of the field from the drop zone should be placed back inside the field at the point where it exited.
It does not need to be placed directly against the PVC pipe, but it should be positioned close to it. The ball should be placed gently, not rolled or tossed.
If the ball bounces out from the Drop Zone that is in the Outer Zone (right side if you are standing in the pilot station), the ball would be placed in the Outer Zone (3-point zone), since that’s where it would have landed if it hadn’t bounced out.
