I'll just throw some extra confirmation into the dialogue and say we do it all the time as a matter of routine. There are certain snake designs the NXL uses that invite you to at least attempt it and the Orlando field from the most recent event had a primo ricochet we used with repeated effectiveness.Originally posted by Steve Morris
Don't worry it is NOT in the current rules; it was in the NPPL rules years ago.
And I can imagine players trying to ricochet sometimes but I didn't know it was actually something you guys thought about very much or planned.

Nick--back on topic. I would guess the reason the snake side play was problematic was because the design forces teams and players to play that side low while you encourage stand up movement on the opposite half. Result, you make it more difficult to move for some teams and players on the snake side. Switching the row of bunkers that feeds the snake to one of the standup types of bunkers would, I think, dramatically increase across the field activity and movement.
