While I can't make the admins respond to this quicker, this is an
very important question as I have been limiting my runs in accordance with the VEX Toss Up Rules (which I have listed said rules below). I guess the question is whether or not the standard VEX Toss Up Rules apply to this challenge. There are not any other vital rules as far as I know that are not already listed wgardner. The other issue is that is is quite late into the challenge and it seems like there are people who did both. I wish we would have caught this sooner

<SG8> Robots may not Possess more than three (3) BuckyBalls at once. Violations of this rule will result in a warning for minor offenses which do not affect the match. Egregious (match affecting) offenses will result in a Disqualification. Teams that receive multiple warnings may also receive a Disqualification at the head referee's discretion.
Possessing – A Robot is considered to be Possessing a BuckyBall if it actively controlling the BuckyBall. Examples of Possessing include:
• Carrying or holding BuckyBall(s) in the Robot
• Herding BuckyBalls, i.e. intentionally pushing or impelling BuckyBall(s) to a desired location or path
-Accidentally Herding BuckyBall(s) (i.e. driving through BuckyBall(s) in the path of the Robot) is not considered herding, and thus not considered Possessing
•Trapping BuckyBall(s), i.e. intentionally pressing BuckyBall(s)up against a field object
