    Quoted from Yoko2una:

    I always had this idea when I first played Mustang and IJ4 where you have those captive ball areas. I thought it would be cool to have a feature where a captive ball could be knocked into a small " single pop arena" and pop hits could be counted this way for bigger rewards.
    1) It's something different.
    2) It's harder to hit then most simple dumps into a pop nest.
    3) It could fit a similar footprint, perhaps smaller.
    4) It would cost less.
    5) You could design it where it's tucked underneath a ramp entrance or top corners of the PF - the two least commonly used areas in modern designs.

    They did exactly this in Teed Off.
