[image] Trying to adjust my change up goals (mainly the ones that are not in corners) and they seem to lean forward and clamp down on the balls, making them hard to put in / remove, ive tried to adjust them but with no luck. Anyone else having this issue?

this brings up an interesting question: is the minimum tolerance of 6.13" referring to the space between the rings at the back or front of the goals? because the front might be a lot tighter due to the sagging of the goals, in which case, would the gap next to the posts legally have to be widened t…

Our wall goals seem to have the same issue as well. Because of the added bracket the corner goals receive for mounting, they sag considerably less compared to the wall goals which “clamp” down on the balls harder.

I feel this could easily be solved by putting one of those brackets the corners goals have on the side goals, they already have holes. @DRow could you give us your wisdom?

idk what DRow is supposed to do about it, it might be better to ask in the Q&A if sagging goals are in violation of the minimum tolerances.

Eh just thought I could get the problem atleast known

It’s insane how DRow pointing to another post of him saying something ironic gets more likes than an average post. ▶

Most events will be online, so there is no EP to test this- for example, MJS’s 43 second skills run would be impossible if all their towers were regulation (on most of the goals the balls slide straight out, they don’t flex at all in the video).
